Tv screen is black and white for backup NTSC game

[Dracon]

Hello Everyone



My brother recently gave my son a ps2 slimline (70003). I've got it modified to run on swapmagic. However i recently borrowed an NTSC backup from a friend, the program runs fine but its in black and white on the TV screen.

I asume this is because of the American format but i am not sure what to do. Can someone please advise ...

I appreciate there might me a post on this but i could not find it ..

I believe you have to connect to your tv via scart to play foreign games in colour - dont quote me though.

if setting on tv dont work there is an option in swap magic to chage to NTSC but it reduces the size of the screen
I bought a converter from ebay ,works a treat ave a search for PS2 NTSC to PAL Converter and some will come up about £12 inc p&p
