noob question

Hello
i have few questions about PS2
what is the difference between NTSC and PAL ?
if i have a ntsc ps2 can i play pal games ?
what does a patch for ps2 games ? to bypass a game protection when you make a backup ?
Also I would like to buy a ps2 and i was wondering which version is the most convenient to install modchip in order to play backup games ?

thanks for the answers

Here . You can either patch a game to make it compatible with your setup or buy a converter like the site above mentions.

It would be great if you can find a v7, but basically all you will find is the v9/v10 nowadays.

Juts a small tip - anyone in the Yorkshire area of the UK, WHSmith in Halifax has a few V7's left. Won't apply to many if anyone, but there are still some out there...

You will be able to play PAL games yes but they may not display correctly on your NTSC setup. Thus needing a PAL to NTSC patch or the likes.
