Suikoden 3 PAL?

Hey, I'm a massive suikoden fan and I really wanna play suikoden 3 but is it true THERE ARE NO PAL VERSIONS?

I REALLY NEED AN ANSWER PLEASE :D

If there is no PAL version is there anything I can get (apart from an NTSU PS2) than can convert it.. I've seen some things on EBAY but not sure what they do..:cry:

HELP PLEASE

There is a Suikoden 4, 5 and Tactics, but I don't know about 3. Sorry it's not the answer you were looking for, but I thought it might help a little. I've had a look at 6 major UK game stores and all that's coming up is 4, 5 and Tactics. That might be a sign that 3 is not PAL.liquidzero123

Ok, thanks for your reply, apprecite it :S

Been looking on the internet at PAL -> NTSU converters for PS2/WII/XBOX.. dunno if this is what I want though..

Again, thx for reply.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but no it was not released in PAL. Those boxes you saw are nothing to do with playing NTSC games, older PAL TVs would display NTSC games in black and white, now TVs tend to have all standards incorporated.

I feel your pain man, this was one of the first games I imported when I got my PS2 from the US.

Uh.. so is there any way I can get suikoden 3 NTSU to work on a PAL ps2 and a 50hz tv

I don't wanna go and buy a NTSU PS2 thts al..

why do you bother for the worst Suikoden game i dont understandTheLegendKnight

But it was rated a 9 on gamespot? ^^

that is only half of the truth,with an rgb cable(and a tv that is compatible with this mode) you can playntsc/60hz games in a pal tv without the black white problem.bardos-the-3rd

I think you are wrong on that one, my cousin had a PAL PS1 which he modded and one time he got a game that was natively NTSC and it only displayed in black and white. By RGB I take it you mean SCART or RCA, well he was using RCA and without that convertor no color would come on. If I am way off the mark then correct me on this.

On the other hand, there is a significant group that believes III to be the BEST Suikoden game.

this kind of cable is special,and no,it's not an RCA cable,but it's a special type of SCART cable

if you live in europe try to find one ,but you need to have a tv that has the RGB mode,in the case of my tv you have to press the scart button one more time, you can also see the games in a higer resolution(though not as high as an HDTV cable) but if you try to se a movie on DVD,the colors on the screen turn green

before I had this cable I was unable to play ps2 games in 60hz(don't ask me why but I was able to play dreamcast and gamecube games without this cable)

Its embarrassing being an electrical engineering graduate and struggling with this but I finally got it sussed out. It is not true conversion you get, its only color conversion which is simple to implement. True conversion is a whole different matter altogether and the equipment needed to do that is far more expensive than the $20 or so you need to spend to get color conversion. With the simple method you may notice tearing in the picture if you have a keen eye, though most of us dont notice it since its 24 or 30 frames per second. This is no more a problem with modern sets because they can automatically switch between sources and it is sorted out internally.

Apologies to the TC for going way off topic.To answer your question about there being any way you can get it to work on a PAL PS2, the answer would be not without you modding the PS2 (which we cant discuss on the forums) since the consoles are region locked.

I didn't mentioned the cable because the regional problem,I did it because of the discussion about the black white problem.

could you please tell me what an RCA cable is?, I got no clue.

It is the regular yellow white and red cables we have used all those years, read about it here.mohmaaytah

so if I'm right the scart cable don't need to have the three cable,and an rca don't need the big connector. and it's called like one or another depending on the type of conection of your tv?! am I right?

I was asked about this for a long time ago, several years infact.
and no, you either need to get a NTSL Playstation 2 or manually convert your own but you can ruin it permanently if you try that.

You could ask at your local video game store about it.
