green screen help please....

[pacha]

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but u guys seem to know ur stuff.


I wonder if you could help me. I recently brought a ps2 from malaysia (a jap machine i believe).
And i brought a scart lead out there only to find there was no colour on my uk tv screen only black and white picture. So i decided to buy another scart lead (this time in the uk) which looked different (pins), and this time the picture is flickering green colour only.

So basicly what do i need to buy to make my jap machine work on a uk television ? with no green jumping screen with the games.

cheers

the green can be fixed by going into the system setup and setting the "component video out" to RGB instead of YUV. if the picture jumps/runs through, your TV might not be capable of displaying 60 hz.. in that case, only way to fix it is by buying a new TV.

Arakon has it right but it needs amplification.

If you have a widescreen TV (not bought from Tesco) then it's likely to resolve NTSC on one of the AV ports; set the PS2 to RGB and plug in the component cable (Yellow/white/red).

2/
If not, then you cannot resolve 60Hz. Go to a Maplin shop and buy an NTSC to PAL Convertor (AV/RF). I did that when I got the Jap PS2 and used it until a month ago when I got the widescreen TV. It gives a perfect PAL RGB picture for NTSC games.

Note that for PAL games, if you've go the PS2 chipped, it willplay perfectly without any convertor.
