should a ps2 with mh 2 chip be able to boot ntsc dvds on a pal system ?
thanks

Yes.

Actually I don't think a messiah 2 has the all region capability (for dvd movies) the only chip I know that does that is the DMS3

reigon and ntsc vs pal is 2 different things

NTSC PS2 games: YES
NTSC DVD movies: NO
(Unless the movie in question has no region code)
And there are a "few" NTSC movies (originals) that do NOT have a region code.

Alot of people that backup movies (myself included) will remove macrovision and make the movie "region free" so it will play in any country.

NOTE: If you have a PAL tv the movie may not display correctly due to the NTSC framerate.
