Have u got PAL PS2? cos it suspiciously sounds like u trying to play NTSC games and dvd's on a pal machine and tv.

If this the case then there is a complicated solution:

u need to get rid of the composite scart lead that comes with the PS2 and get a Euroscart component scart lead. This will solve the problem with the games coming out in black and white but all yr DVD's will come out in black and green ( a little piracy protection that sony added).

To get rid of this u can fit a link on your motherboard that turns the green back to colour ( if u have a messssiah or messiah 2 fitted then the fitter might have already put the link in)

U can also buy an NTSC to pal converter box or buy an NTSC compatible TV.

I suspect that your ps1 Import games have been patched with an NTSC to PAL converter which is why u don't have the problem there.

Yeah, as I said it will give u green screen with dvd. The solution is to apply a link to yr motherboard which gets rid of the green screen and gets u back to colour.

Have a look at messiah/messiah 2 installation instuctions on the net and it'll tell u where the link goes.

I thought that as u have had ur PS2 modded it might have already had the link in. When I mod a PS2 I put the link in as a matter of course.

Good luck!!!
