Do any mod chips output NTSC games as PAL?

Could anyone tell me if any modchips available for the PS2 will display PS2 NTSC games as PAL? I have TV that has no problems with displaying the colours - so one of those 50 quid analog adapters would be of no use to me - but it can't handle the actual digital signal so the picture is squished. Are there any modchips that will output an PAL50 signal - as my TV can't handle PAL60 or NTSC - from an NTSC PS2 game?

Your best bet is to get NTSC2PAL patches for your games. As far as i know modchips don't allow a NTSC game to output a PAL signal or vice versa. They just send the correct boot code through which tricks the machine into thinking a original game is to be played. Basically buy a new TV that handles a NTSC signal if you have the Cash. Pretty cheap nowadays, as this is the best option in my opinion as there aren't many solutions around to solve this problem.

Ta for the info - I don't have the money for a new TV now, nor a DVD burner. I'll have to live with a squished picture for now.
