It might. It all depends on whether it's PAL, or NTSC. The plugs are different for Pal and NTSC. I'm not sure what Britain uses.

Yeah, I've got a plug converter and such, but I'm wondering if it'll even work due to his playstation not working here... [ps2 slim]

His playstation wouldnt WORK? What does that mean?
If by that you mean it wouldnt play games you got here, then yeah, because the PS2 has different regions in which the games and hardware are made. PS2s in Britain, for instance, can only play games from Britain. N64 cartidges can vary in shape in different regions, so I wouldnt suspect you would be able to use it with games bought here. But there is always a Passport, which will allow you to play games from both regions on your N64 |

PS2s in Britain, for instance, can only play games from Britain. It's not quite so specific. PS2's are region-encoded, and there are four regions: North America, Europe/Oceania, Japan/Asia, and China. But I wouldn't be surprised if an off-the-shelf British N64 would not work in North America (for the PAL/NTSC reason noted above), although it could no doubt be modified. I believe the N64 was released in three regions: North America, Europe, and Japan. Britain no doubt comes under Europe, and the US no doubt comes under North America, and the two likely use different video formats. |

The playstation wouldnt play his games, haha, when loaded on my screen, the image would just flash, or sorta scroll up the page too fast to see anything going on, & it was b&w.
I'll check out that adaptor thx for the assistance anyway =) |
