- ooooops, sorry mate, my fault; just read my post and yes it does sound like I'm suggesting the console played the DVDs! (now that really would've been magic!! lol) I meant the Dreamcast (as in the WHOLE package) had a DVD player (Encore 450) which, without an RGB scart, played Region 1 DVDs perfectly well.

My confusion is that yesterday I learnt my TV set isn't NTSC compatible, so I still don't uderstand how the Region 1 DVDs worked!?!? Will they work with my PS2 once I get the Datel Region X???

Sorry for even more confusion lol,

cheers

Yeah, that was a bundle with a seperate stand-alone DVD player that you could buy anywhere, it had nothing specific to do with the dreamcast.

Thanks for the help ppl i will try region one with my normal lead

- sorry mate but you are misinformed - the Deamcast Package was Dreamcast console plus "separate" Encore 450 DVD player; it certianly did play Region 1 DVDs :-)

The Dreamcast DVD player must have been magic since it didn't exist :) you could play pirated and converted vcd's on dreamcast though.

- I agree with that; I really dont think an RGB scart is essential.
When I had my Dreamcast I simply used the leads whihc it came with and my Region 1 DVDs worked fine! I've just sent off for the Datel Region X and I'm hoping the result will be the same.. but get this....

... yesterday I found out my TV set ISN'T NTSC compatible, yet my Region 1 DVDs played with no problem!?!?!?! - I'm now TOTALLY confused!
Is it becasue the Dreamcast DVD player was magic!?!? lol I hope the PS2 player does the same!!!

cheers

Also my PS2 goes into a 5.1 amp via optical so I cant help you on the audio bit. I actually believe that the Region X is coded in such a way as to stop the green screen problem using RGB scart cable.

K, this is my setup. I have the regular AV lead that came with my PS2 which is connected to my TV thro scart adaptor thingy, and thats it. I play R1 discs this way, using Region X - NO green screen to be seen.

hope this helps

Lets see if anyone of you can answer my question:

My TV is not NTSC compatable. But for my birthday im getting a new Tv that is. I already have Region X for my PS2 (Thank you PSi2 magazine) so thats sorted. But I hear you need some different scart lead thing to play the Region 1 movies in full colour. I have a speaker system for my PS2 (A bit like soundstation) which came with a new scart that connected the speakers to my PS2 and Tv. Will this scart play the DVD's in full colour? If not, and I have to buy a new scart, will I be able to get one which connects to speakers aswell as tv?

Can anyone help?
Does anyone know what im talking about?
