AFAIK its mostly dependent on whether the TV can handle the output being in the different format.

Before I bought Loaded for PSX, I fetched an ISO to see if I had a case of nostalgic rose colored glasses since the PC version of RE Loaded was such a piece of crap. It turned out to be PAL, which ran on my modded PSOne fine, but the picture rolled on my US TV.

Can depend on both the TV and the mod chip.

Very early generation PSX modchips were pretty crap. Anything from around late 1996 onwards solved all those issues.

As long as your TV can handle NTSC playback (anything made this century is a pretty good bet), you'll be fine. I have a modded PAL PSX and it runs NTSC games fine (including the two you mention) on all three of my cheap, Chinese-made, CRT TVs.

It won't display an NTSC signal over the standard RF connection in anything other than black and white (although I wouldn't say that it renders the game unplayable, it just renders it black and white)

Get a RGB scart lead and you're good to go. pretty much all TVs made in the last ten years will take NTSC, alotof Phillips sets won't though...

My old pal crt that I use for my old consoles is Phillips and it handles ntsc (from ps1 or other) just fine. Infact I just had an ntsc ps1 game arrive from the states 2 days ago that I've been playing and the only thing that I can notice is that the scan lines are rather bold.

I know it's the opposite of what you're asking, but there was a PAL only PS1 game that I run on my NTSC PS1 with a mod chip. There was a program (I forget the name, I think it was called Zapper) that patches the game image from PAL to NTSC. I think it also did it in reverse, too. A Google search would turn up for info on patching games from 50/60Hz.

People still use RF?

Phillips always had a problem with it if it did take it it was fuzzy but like I said alot didn't we bought our last CRT (a 28 widesceen phillips matchline) about 8 years ago and it couldn't display NTSC! SECAM and PAL only... I won't buy Phillips again.

It was the Standard connection for the PS1 in the UK as Scart wasn't widespread until the Dreamcast launched... which used an RF connection as standard
