Will Konamis bemani-games work on a modded PS2?

[Zanzaki]

Currently I'm planning to either buy me a japanese Playstation 2 in a month or two or simply have a friend mod my Pal PS2.
The thing is, I want to play Pop'n Music, Beatmania, Drummania and Keyboard Mania and I do recall hearing something about those games not working on modded units. Is that true?
Also, could someone here tell me where I might find a Pop'n Music-controller for Playstation/Playstation 2.

The games will run, but they'll be out of sync. You'll need an NTSC console.

I thought this was only an issue on PS1. From what I've been told, all PS2 Bemani games are fine, although I haven't tested any myself yet (plan to get DDR Extreme soon).

I've tested it...

Naiera: I'm not doubting you or anything... but why? Wouldn't this apply to all NTSC games in that case? I thought you had your assed covered with a modded pal machine.. Does anyone know why they run out of sync?
*curious*

Don't think it's anything to do with NTSC/PAL issues. I've used PAL Dancing Stage: Party Edition on a PAL Chipped PS2 and the sync issues still occur.

It's bad programming on Konami's side. Of course it's the PAL/NTSC thing that causes the sync problems. The music somehow finds a way to run at 50Hz while the picture runs at 60Hz, I guess.

Erm, read my post again. I've run a PAL Dancing Stage game on a PAL (but modded) PS2 and the sync problem still occurs. How can it be an NTSC/PAL thing if that's the case? In that scenario NTSC has nothing to do with it.

Its could be a chip problem. I've seen various threads related to 'clock degradation' and how to avoid it when chipping. Maybe?

Surely this would affect all games though?

I have a Jap SCPH-10000 series Origa-modded PS2 running PAL Dacing Stage Party Edition and it works in sync.

In that scenario NTSC has nothing to do with it.

The game probably "saw" the chip and ran the music in 60Hz...
