| Newbie Join Date: Jun 2010 Gender:  Posts: 1 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts | Please help!! PAL region games played on US console Ok, so I have found some info on playing european games on us consoles but they all seem to say something diferent or im ust not clear on what I need to do... I ordered richard burns rally and wrc rally evolved and want to play them on my OLD probably 1st gen ps2. Now I know that they PAL games send a 50hz signal and most us tv's are 60hz and that causes problems. I have a new TV that says it supports 50-60hz so will I still have to do anything like chip my ps2 to play these games? If so I have no idea how or where to get this chip, or even what it does. Someone please give me a straight answer!!! Any links would help too... Thanks for your time! |

That said, if you want an alternative to paying to unlock features that should have come ready on your system, and you've got a powerful PC, I could recommend trying a PS2 emulator. It's 100% legal to play your discs through that, if you can manage to run the bastard. |
