NTSC > PAL converter problem

wknight · January 30th, 2003

i today purchased an ntsc > pal converter for use on my ps2 with playing ntsc games on my playstation 2 (Pal) my tv is pal only also ( i have a chip and all that). After plugging it all in the sound comes on fine but the images are in grayscale/black and with flickers of green, even on pal games. I tried about 10 games all with the same results.. My tv is a samsung, but unfortunately i have nfi what model it is, as i bought it 2nd hand about 5 yrs ago. Thanks.

Oh And the converter is called N-PAL Converter.

things you can try:

1. Go to System Configuration when the PS2 boots up. Somewhere there you get to choose the type of output. (There RBG and another one). Try toggling them. If it doesn't work then waite for more replies here.

hmm one strange thing with it is, it seems to flicker to black and white now and then.. not too much of a biggy though
