hey, i've got a european psx (chipped). question is: will it also play 'backup versions' of games burned in north america that work on north american psx's?? i don't quite understand the whole pal/ntsc/geographic coding thing. i have a tv which will play NTSC as well as PAL, so that is not a problem. just need to know if the european *playstation* itself will play american-version games.

to any answers, opinions, or inputs (even if you're not sure).... THANKS!!!!!

www.getmoresun.com has rgb cables which'll enable you to play PAL and NTSC games in color and with sound without you needing to patch the game first.
i use the RGB Cable myself and i can play any version of any game without problems.

On a normal PAL european console you should not be able to play a NTSC game... I tried that... but with a modded PS there should be no problem... the only problem is that the colors may display in Black-and-White... then you have to buy a better cable... one of those scart cable's... with your PAL playstation you originally get one of those 3-tulip-plugs-to-scart cable's...
But even with (or without) a good cable you can still have Black and White... (especially experienced problems with ###ne)... some games still display in B&W... but other NTSC games are color... then you can try a special bootdisk which allows you to choose a video mode... so you can play NTSC games in PAL... that should solve all problems...
