Giga Pocket How can I get both NTSC and PAL?

Hi there, I've got a Vaio that has a giga pocket built in. My problem is that i can only plug and play PAL video games through my PS2. If the game is NTSC the gigapocket shows it through black and white. It isn't to do with my Console because i used to play ntsc and pal games on it with my older screen....

I was wondering if anyone knew how i can get the gigapocket to play both PAL And NTSC...

Thanks
Hope someone can help:smileycry::smileycry: :thinking:

I'm not convinced that the GigaPocket card is NTSC capable. When you go through "TV Tuner Setup", you only get european options (PAL, SECAM), whereas NTSC is a US format.

Believe it or not, you're likely to need a different TV interface card - one that's NTSC capable. :slight_frown:

The black-and-white syndrome is common to trying to view NTSC pictures through a PAL device.

Thanks for the info..

I was thinking if theres anything that i can use to convert NTSC into PAL format before it enters the computer through the gigapocket...

Like something that goes between the Console and the connection to the PC??

Thanks again.

This might work - never tried it though.
