Running NTSC games on PAL PS2

[sspahwa]

Hi,
I have PAL PS2 (Europe), would like to know the way to run NTSC games on that.

Being unaware of the codecs I purchased 12 NTSC games and now struggling, please help.

Questions-
1. Can some modification in ps2 console help me in running both NTSC & PAL games ?
2. Is there possibility of converting NTSC games to PAL format?

Thanks,
Me

Yes you can get your PS2 chipped to play NTSC games, I have no idea what the chip is and how much it costs or how to get hold of it so don't ask.

There isn't an easy way to convert NTSC games to PAL, to do so would mean editing the source code of the game, to do that you would need a PS2 developer kit, which would set you down around £5000.

google ps2 mod chip and that should point you in the right direction.

DO however look at specs before you consider it, it needs to support colour for NTSC games on a PAL TV, on older TV's it may come out in black and white which aint good at all. . .

Hehe yeah my m8 did the same thing, and when he found out his TV didn't support NTSC he was so pissed off. :)

Lol! Very much so m8, they were good but very unreliable.
