Playing a european PAL game on a canadian NTSC...

Question

Hi !

Could you tell me how I can play with a european PAL PS2 racing game on my canadian NTSC PS2 console ?

And is it possible to save my PAL game progress on the NTSC memory card ?

I heard about some kind of a PAL-NTSC converter, but is it reliable and is there any danger of damaging my console by using some sort of converter ??

 

Thank you for your time
