hello everybody

i´m new to PS2 scene, so I need to know what´s the main diference between PAL and NTSC releases

AFAIK, they refer to the color system

so, if i get a version not on the same system of my PS2, it will get black & white or what? or can I get whatever version?

my ps2 is a US system, so I think its NTSC right?

thank you everybody

www.whatis.com is your friend.

NTSC

PAL

basicly PAL have a better picture since it shows more lines but PAL is in some games slower because of its 50hz frequenzy compared to NTSC'S 60hz. this is very noticable in tekken3 for example.

ok thanks, but you´ve not answered my question

I tell that because i have some PS1 cds which asks for the system on startup of the game, and if you press the wrong button, the image gets B&W

i dont know how it works when you got a ntsc machine.

i know that if you got a PAL machine (im a PAL user) you have to use a RGB cable if you want color on NTSC games. if you dont use a rgb cable you get a black & white picture.
maybe its the same the other way around.
