Yes they will but they will be black and white. Try searching for a NTSC2PAL converter to change region modes to show your games in colour.

actually they won't read the back of usa games, they say something about being ntsc, usa games are formatted in a way called ntsc, logically they will only work on ps2's set up to read ntsc formatted disks, not pal disks, which is the english way of formatting. English ps2's are set up only to read PAL disks, so no, usa games wont work on english ps2's

BUT, there are ways to bypass this annoyance (i think) but as i havnt tested it i cant garuntee it will work

method 1, you use swap magic

method 2, you do some soldering

method 3, i cant remember so google it.

tey these, they might help [url=http://www.sapmagic3.com][/url]
