Just curious, what would I need to play NTSC Videos on a PAL VCR? Anything more then the right lead?

A VCR capable of reading those tapes, since NTSC is stored different on tape to PAL video :p I've seen VCRs capable of reading both formats, as well as variations from country to country in each format too, and for converting formats on the fly e.g. play a NTSC video and output PAL for a PAL-only TV etc., but as far as I know, most VCRs can't do that, they only do the format for the country you bought them in.

:/ that's a shame, I figured if an English psx could play US/Jap games with the right tools you could do the same with a VCR. Thanks anyway :)
