Newbie help

[Mysticpriest]

Hi
I need to know how to determine what kind of psx I have, and if the games it plays are pal or ntsc, and how to find out what format a game is in.
I live in canada, if this is of any help.

I have burned (nero) some games and some work fine, others, the v-hold is off and I have no way of fixing it. The game loads with sound and everything, but the screen just goes up and down and the v-hold can't be controlled.

Can some one help me out? Is more info needed?

Thanks
