| will an NTSC PS2 work on PAL TV?
I have an NTSC PS2 and i was going to send it to India with my dad to give away. Will it work on their TV? Does it even matter on newer TVs?
It has a mod chip and most of the games are burned if that matters.

If it has a modchip - yes it should work, that is, if the modchip supports switching of colour modes (which many do)

You can get NTSC to PAL converters.

i looked up converters and the ones i saw were like $200 so not really worth it for a PS2.
Also i could very well be wrong about this, but from what i read from googling this is that newer tvs can accept either signal NTSC or PAL, does anyone have any idea about this?

^ it really depends on which mod chip you have - my old old one for my 1st ps2 (i forgot which one i had sorry) required me to turn the PS3 off completely, and then hold the eject button while pressing the power button to get into the modchip menu
The newer chip I got (Magic something or the other) for my 2nd ps2 did automatic boot settings.

Would using component video eliminate the need for worrying about PAL or NTSC?

Even if you get a converter, the picture would come out differently. It's been a while, but IIRC, the picture for PAL content is a little more stretched out or taller?
