I believe the problem can be solved by soldering a link onto your motherboard that forces all spx and ps2 games to play in full pal whether they are pal,ntsc or ntscj.

U can find where to put the link on messiah 2 installation diagrams as an extra mod to carry out while ps2 is in bits.

Do not confuse it with the rgb colour fix.

U could also try using an RGB Component scart lead instead of the composite video lead the ps2 comes with, that way all games will play full colour no problem without any boot disc, only problem then is that dvd movies come out in green so u would then have to apply the rgb colour fix to get round this problem or alternatively use dvd region X or ar2 to boot your dvd movies up.
