messiah ps2

i recently had my ps2 chipped alls well except that on ntsc games they are black and white and yes i have a scart cable which works fine on my mates ps2 tried ps2 on diffrent tv`s as well.Has the person who chipped it got a wire or somthing wrong both ps2`s are the same model mother board (pal tv being used)any help and my mates is pefect on ntsc via scart.

tanx in advance zinc

 

your tv needs to be able to work on ntsc mode, try playing around with the color and see if you can change your tv mode to either ntsc or auto instead of pal made and you will have color, I have the messiah chip and my games work well, I just had to adjust the setting on the tv itself

 

tanx for the reply i`ll try messing about as you said but i don`nt have much hope as my psx 1
works fine with ntsc and scart still think some things wrong (same tv}

 

if your tv has another scart socket try that , mine has 3 and 1 was B/W. When used on my ps2.

 

there's settings within the ps2 that allows you to sort this prob, out.i had the same prob,till i altered these,i just cant remember right now so if you need any help i'll sort it out and find then for you.

 

No, your TV doesnt support NTSC. My mate had the same problem when he tried to play a region free porno DVD from holland. Most modern TV's support the higher refresh rate (at least i think that's whats wrong)

 

tanx for replies asked at computer show and was told chipped ok but looks like they missed the link wire to switch between pal & ntsc if any one can confirm this please do.

 

That could well be the problem, if you trying viewing an NTSC video source on a PAL only TV, it will appear in Black and White. I would suggest trying your PS2 on a TV that accepts an NTSC signal, if it is still B&W then something is wrong inside. If you get a colour picture then you need to buy a Video Standards converter, something that will take an NTSC input and give you a PAL output. Can get these from a lot of retailers, such as www.techtronics.com and www.keene.co.uk

 

I wonder can anyone help.
My sons ps/2 has been chipped to play back ups and I am unsure of the chip name, however, it requires the AR2/V2 to use.

Recently however the ps2 now says "loading code list" for the ar2/v2 and then freezes on screen with the "loading code list" message.
This message used to appear for a couple of secs then the menu would appear allowing the selection of the game to be played.
No more though !

I dont know if this is a problem with the AR2/V2 or the ps2 any ideas ?
