Play NTSC games on PAL PS2

dj.spot · 02-23-2006, 11:02 PM

does anyone know if it's posible to play NTSC games on PAL console without modchip ... my console is brand new

PS2 games are very very expensive in Romania (F*** this country) and you find only the most popular games... but if you want something like eg: "legacy of kain series" you wont find anything ... so I have someone in the US that can send me cheaper games... the problem is as you know they are NTSC...
Help Please

I know of a utility called Swap Magic 3 which allows you to play PAL games on an NTSC console, not sure about the other way round though. Have a look at that and see if it fits your bill.

Hiya, new to the board, I'm in the same situation, I want to import a game, so, cool to hear about this swap magic, which appears to be here in the UK, but I wanted to check about how to make sure your tv can take NTSC signals.
