Your PAL PS2 games won't be able to play on a NTSC PS2 because of the region code of your PS2.

yes i know...but is there any possible way to get around that?

go into google and type in ps2 chimps, on their site theres patches to convert games from pal to ntfs and instructions on what to do.

Not too sure on this one but i think that you can get a mod chip but then again i think that you need a supporting tv as well not really sure... just thought that i would throw in my 2 cents

Yes modchips do let you bypass region coding, here is a site from your own country...

You could use a modchip for your PS2 even though I don't recommend it because modchip's generally do more harm than good.

Make sure your T.V can output (play) PAL signals. :P
