It has nothing to do with the convertor you mention...The convertor you have is for the power of the PS2......
To get PAL games to display in color on your NTSC tv you will need to buy a PAL-NTSC convertor for your tv.(or you can try to find a PAL-NTSC patch for the game) Or you can go out and buy a multi-system tv....

Most standard US tv's DON'T have a scart input.....This is the reason he needs a PAL-NTSC convertor....

Mainly because at the time I purchased it there were no other "Direct Boot Mod Chips" except for the Messiah....Since the Messiah only worked on PAL PS'2 (with the exception of the US V4) I purchased a PAL system...

First....You don't need a ntsc-pal.....You need the opposite, a PAL-NTSC.... I haven't got one yet....I'm going to get one in the near future.....Also, have you tried playing any PS1 games (originals or backups) on your ps2.... I'm interested to see if they play in black and white also.....Try it if you can and let me know...

Charlie_PS2, do you have the convertors available (PAL-NTSC)?
Thanks again.....

has something but I fear they are expensive. The ones available in the USA are around $300 I believe.

Incidentally NTSC-PAL converors are less than $80.
