Pal/ntcs

Hey guys im new to the ps2 scene cause i just got mine fixed, i have a europian ps2 ( silver ) I'dk if there is types and stuff so yeah but when i start it up the screen where it says Broswer and Configuration is black and white and the top is cropped/cut off. But when i play a game ( ripped or original ) it colorful i was wondering is there a way around this, or is it the tv? ( didnt test it in the big tv ) In greece where i had it to play NTCS games i used what they called there " American Wires" which make NTCS to PAL is there a opposite one which changes PAL to NTCS if so where can i get them?
