To play PAL games on an NTSC-U ps2 you have to patch the games before you burn them. even so its far from perfect. but its better than without because without its grey and black and you cant see a thing. the program you need to use is called PS2_Yfix. i found it by googling it. oh and some games you can select your tv type for example on the game ICO: Limited edition Pal when you first boot up the game you can choose either pal Or NTSC. some cheat devices like Gameshark and Action replay have codes to convert the tv style too.. hope you get it working
