NTSC PS2 on PAL TV

Is it possible for NTSC games to run full screen on a PAL TV. My TV is capable of running at 60Hz and I have been doing it for years with my PS1.

It's just that I have just had the Magic 3 universal chip installed and my NTSC PS1 games that used to run full screen on the PS1...now have a border on the bottom of the screen and run at PAL speeds.

My main concern is it will be this way with any NTSC PS2 game that I get. I want games like Devil May Cry 2 and any fighting game I get to run at full screen/speed.

Thanks

Well this is an interesting one. All our NTSC PS2 games play full screen on both my PAL only TV and the multi-system TV, both on the Messiah 2 and the Magic 3U.

I have the NTSC Colour Fix set on a switch to either Pseudo-NTSC or PSeudo-PAL. When I have the switch in pseudo-PAL (60Hz, 525 lines, PAL colour system) and play an NTSC PS2 game, I get full colour, full screen.

So all I can think of is that either your PAL TV doesn't handle 60Hz well, or there is another AV port that does.

Oh, btw, there is no difference in game speed between PAL and NTSC. It's a myth.
