We came from Brazil to Germany at the end of January 2008. My son Brought your PS2 and he was very upset When just B & W screen what possible to have here. We tried first to change the configuration parameters of the PS2, without success. I went to several electronic service shops and nobody Could help us. Finaly, in searching the web I found this converter. It works pretty good and solved our problem perfectly (we did not have to make a permanent convertion so When we go back home the PS2 will be ready to use there again).
