you'll most likely need power converter most likely - 220 -> 110, as to the pal/ntsc, no idea, mebe someone else can shed some light on this

well if you bring a pal tv and get some power converters it should work fine other wise your gonna need to patch all your games for ntsc

[oZER0o]

if you have a modded ps2, cant you play any game, NTSC OR PAL ?

Ye sry to mention it is modded and plays both pal and ntsc

so as to the power converter do i get it over here in england or the usa?

many thanks

and also no im not bringing a tv as its to big and heavy and it would cost to much i might aswell buy anew one out there, i bought a scart lead that plays both the games in colour so that should work on a american tv shouldn't it ?

thanks again for your help

you can swap out the UK PSU with a US PSU I believe. Also depending on your modchip you can force different video outputs.

You could find a power converter in any electronics store.. it wouldn't be difficult to find..

Why are you coming to the US? and which part are you moving to?

I have it chipped with a messiah 2 pro, also what is a psu?

im moving as im getting married to my fiancee of 5 years who is american and lives out there ive been commuting for the past 5 years , going over nearly every weekend and now i have swapped my job for out there, and im moving to long island new york

PSU = Power Supply Unit. Unfortunately your Messiah chip wont force different video outputs like the Infinity and Crystal Chip can.

Every weekend! How did you afford that?

Ok just for anyone else thats needs to know in the future, i bought a power inverter 110v to 240v and a ps2 american cable that goes from the ps2 to the tv, and on my v9 with messiah 2 works a treat using the power inverter, all my ntsc and pal games works perfect without no conversions or patches, and the tv is not a multivision tv, and in my v7 with messiah 2 i got put in a new power adapter that takes both 110v and 240v and with the same cable works a treat.all games work perfect so there is no need to patch any pal games.
