you'll most likely need power converter most likely - 220 -> 110, as to the pal/ntsc, no idea, mebe someone else can shed some light on this

well if you bring a pal tv and get some power converters it should work fine other wise your gonna need to patch all your games for ntsc

if you have a modded ps2, cant you play any game, NTSC OR PAL ?

scamper 27-07-2005 17:20

Ye sry to mention it is modded and plays both pal and ntsc

so as to the power converter do i get it over here in england or the usa?

many thanks

and also no im not bringing a tv as its to big and heavy and it would cost to much i might aswell buy anew one out there, i bought a scart lead that plays both the games in colour so that should work on a american tv shouldn't it ?

thanks again for your help

you can swap out the UK PSU with a US PSU I believe. Also depending on your modchip you can force different video outputs.

You could find a power converter in any electronics store.. it wouldn't be difficult to find..

Why are you coming to the US? and which part are you moving to?

I have it chipped with a messiah 2 pro, also what is a psu?

im moving as im getting married to my fiancee of 5 years who is american and lives out there ive been commuting for the past 5 years , going over nearly every weekend and now i have swapped my job for out there, and im moving to long island new york

PSU = Power Supply Unit. Unfortunately your Messiah chip wont force different video outputs like the Infinity and Crystal Chip can.

Every weekend! How did you afford that?

with a very good job ;)

Ok just for anyone else thats needs to know in the future, i bought a power inverter 110v to 240v and a ps2 american cable that goes from the ps2 to the tv, and on my v9 with messiah 2 works a treat using the power inverter, all my ntsc and pal games works perfect without no conversions or patches, and the tv is not a multivision tv, and in my v7 with messiah 2 i got put in a new power adapter that takes both 110v and 240v and with the same cable works a treat.all games work perfect so there is no need to patch any pal games.
