A Pal PS Two on a Japanese NTSC TV
Hi guys !
First I would like to thank you because when I need help I know I will always find something usefull in here. But there is a problem I encountered that I do not know how to handle.
I bought a Pal PS Two in France when I went back there for a week last Christmas. The modchip is a Crystal Chips CC 1.1. I installed the firmware, of course, and did everything I think was possible to have a console well configured.
When I came back to Japan, I first only used NTSC games, so I did not have any problem playing and enjoying the PS Two.
Last week, I received a PAL game and while I was trying to play with it on my really old and dusty NTSC television, I could not play for the game would not start.
Actually when I start the console the first screen, with the PS 2 logo coming in front of it, is already "dancing" and I am getting so quickly ill watching it that I gave up on the configuration.
Do you know if I can play Pal games on this TV ? Is there a solution to that problem using Boot Manager ? Should I consider upgrading to the last firmware, 19 th one ? Is it worthless ?
I also tried the PS2 Pal 2 NTSC with YFix but after the back-up is burned, the console seems to ignore me and my DVD :)
Thanks for your help !

Pictoral guide on how to change video settings in Bootmanager
I'm not too sure what problem you are having exactly with the conversion, so I'll write a guide for both changing BootManagers video mode and changing PAL to NTSC game conversion.
Forcing Bootmanager to either NTSC only video mode or PAL only video mode
Step 1) This is the default menu of Bootmanager if you do not have a disc inserted during bootup. The menu item you want to select is Configuration; which pressing DOWN three times and then pressing X will select (if you cannot see the screen)

Step 2) The menu item you want is Bootmanager Configuration; just press X to move on to the next screen

Step 3) The option to force Bootmanager video mode in menus is at the top of the list; there are three different modes you can choose: Auto, NTSC, and PAL. Choose which one you want to force your video to (if you have an NTSC TV, then choose the NTSC option; PAL TV users should use the PAL option). Press X once to start the selection process, pressing RIGHT once will select NTSC mode, pressing RIGHT again will select PAL mode, pressing RIGHT again will go back to Auto mode. This is all you need to do to force video modes in Bootmanager menus.

Step 4) This is the menu that you use to force game video modes. Press DOWN three times if NTSC fixes are turned off like mine. You want to press X once to select PAL then press RIGHT to turn it on. Force Video mode to NTSC mode, Force Color to NTSC mode, turn on the Screen position modifiers, and set them to X=-20 and Y=-50.
