Okay so i've decided to import an NTSC version of Kingdom Hearts 2 and im awaiting for it to arrive and Im a PAL PS2 player. My TV can play an NTSC signal (60HZ) perfectly with no problem. But a problem I am worried about is that will my screen be off centre with the imfamous large black section on top of the screen and you can hardly see the game. Because I have swap magic, do you i just boot it up in 'Normal' mode and it will play like a PAL game or will i have the large black thing. I remember somebody saying that the audio and video is out of sync because they made Kingdom Hearts 2 run in a PAL format through Swap Magic, would i have the same. I just thought i would try playing one of my PAL games on my PS2 in a NTSC format via swap magic and thats where i saw the screen being off centre. Will i have the same problem if i run Kingdom Hearts 2 in a NTSC format or is it just because it was converted from PAL to NTSC.

Please Help Me

Your TV should display it fine.
Swap magic special boot cuts off part of the bottom.
And yes you can YfiX patch it so the screen is centered and in colour for you, PM with your email address if you looking for it.
