Chrono Cross on Pal PC-TV

[Degeon]

Hi there! i want to play Crono Cross(Xenogears FF:Tactics or any USA imported games) on my PS2, But my Pinnacle PCTV is PAL based...I heard about an "Video adaptor" for the PS2 that would allow to play 60Mhz games on 50Mhz TV or something... Is there such a thing?

and in case you're asking both games and PS2 are bought from my own sweat!

PCTV? Whats that when its at home? If you want to play USA games on a PAL TV, i'd highly recommend purchasing a scart lead, lets you play all 60Hz USA/J games in their full glory how they are meant to look

Stezo2k: Your answer doesn't make much sense. A scart lead (never heard of Scart lead before, but I guess that's the name or a normal Scart plug/cable?) will not change anything at all, as all it does is provide the signal as it is. A 60Hz image will NOT be converted to 50Hz using Scart. Besides, NTSC doesn't have same resolution as PAL. You could use S-video or even RF, and the results would be the same.

You do get NTSC -> PAL converters, but they are a tad expensive I believe. Do you use a PAL or NTSC PS2? I don't know how PS2's video work, but both GC and XBOX can play NTSC games in PAL50 and PAL60 (if you have a PAL GC/XBOX that is). Would be weird if PS2 couldn't do such a thing too...

Also, are you sure your PC can only accept PAL signal? Check in the manual to see if you can switch to NTSC playback.

Last, moved the thread to TechTalk as it's more suited there...

Yes I checked the manual and it does not recieve NTSC signal well
As for the PS2 it's PAL but it is Chipped to read NTSC games as well

Basically I meant its best to use a scart cable, which will make 60hz games look and play fine on a PAL TV

I didn't entirely understood his question though so I was having trouble trying to answer it

Well, If there isn't an convertor, is there at least a Multisystem TV card?
(A PAL & NTSC system)
and by the way it's "screen adaptor", my mistake
