You would be right. With out a chip like the DMS3 or the Infinity there is no way to force the PS2 to display a Pal game on an NTSC system. The jumper fix Tyler was referring to is only a color fix and will do nothing for the rolling screen. The rolling screen you are seeing is because PAL uses a different frequency then the NTSC.

Also like Renegade_Playa stated yes your Magic V will boot an imported game but if its not of the NTSC video standard it wond display correctly on your console.

Sorry to tell you this but with out a DVD burner you are S.O.L. You will need to make on image of the game then patch the image with a PAL to NTSC patch then reburn it to a DVD-R, and cross your fingers and hope the patch works, 10% of the time they dont. And even then if it does work a lot of times PAL to NTSC patched games are displayed off center.

This is why I and many others just suggest staying within your own video standard.

Good luck!

The Xploder does exactly what I needed to do. I guess my answer was finally solved by...me. I have another TV that doesn't make the lines bounce when I play PAL games, and now that's where I play Budokai 3. Thanks for your time, or waste of it.
