PAL and USA releases

[jomoni]

I'm the happy owner of a PAL PS2, but I have a slight problem that hopefully some of you can help me with:

When I play PAL-releases they play nicely in colour as they should, but if I try a USA release they are always black and white, but otherwise perfect.

So my question is: Is there a way for me to play USA releases with colour on my PAL PS2?

You can buy a scart lead. Or you can short two legs togeather on the video processer chip and force it to dispaly a PAL siginal all the time.

My PAL PS2 plays USA games in colour fine. Switch your TV into NTSC mode. (In the AV channel I have to press a button on the main set to get into NTSC mode.) After that the PS2 start screen will be black and white (as thats a PAL signal) and all your NTSC games will be colour. And if you want to play a PAL game, simply switch your TV back into PAL.

No need to buy new cables or anything!!! Most newish TVs can handle an NTSC signal, so your normal AV lead should be fine.
