You either need to buy a multi standard TV, a TV capture card for your PC that will accept NTSC signal, s-video mod a 5200 and hope your TV likes the signal or buy a PAL XEGS Edited March 24, 2009 by mimo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Yeah, the two port 5200 was designed to be able to be converted easily to PAL. So you would only need to swap a few components to convert it. However a PAL version was never sold and I think only one PAL system proto has been found. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
