hey people,

sorry to be asking bout ntsc to pal conversion again, but this is more curiousity this time.

i was wondering if anyone knows why converting the image through a boot disc or mod chip hasn't been done (as far as i know). i mean, i know you can patch a game, but not everyone has a dvd burner to re-burn it again. i remember on my mates psx there were different kinds of mod chips and if u were willing to pay a little more you could get one that played all games in colour regardless of the television. and i believe there was a boot disc that let you choose what type of signal you wanted the game displayed in, import loader i think it was called.

anyway, basically what i am asking is what is so special about the ps2 that this hasn't been done for it? security measures? demand not enough? anything?

any info appreciated.

I dont know about a boot disc, But a link wire can be fitted inside your ps2 to play all games in pal, This is usualy done by the installer although most installers dont fit it to save time.

is it expensive to get done so they don't do it to keep prices down, or are they just lazy?

anyone please?

no its only a single wire from one bit on the ps2 board to another a few pounds maybe ask your local installer.

hmmmm ok......do u have to be very experienced to do this. a friend of mine has good soldering experience with electronics. is the wire avaliable at electronics stores? if so, are there diagrams and instrcutions for this kind of thing somewhere?

sorry to ask so much stuff, but i have tried to look everywhere and can't find anything.

i remember www.messiah2.com website in its instalation instructions mentions about connecting optional two points on ps2 board to make Pal games appear in color, so check them out maybe it will work.

that link does not work.

i asked one of the guys where i got it installed and he said it is not possible, though i don't think he even understood what i was talking about.

sorry, I guess they offline or something ... here try those www.china-messiah2.com or www.neoasic.com/index.html
