Playing PAL PS2 games on an NTSC PS2

Thanks NRK...You're the man

 

Ok, but the problem here is that PS2 doesnt even recognize the burned disc as PS2 game, so I'm not getting weird lines (pal/ntsc problem) or un-centered screen, it doesnt even load the game... I haven't tried patching... that's why i said maybe the problem was bad media, bad burn or bad iso... and I asked if someone with PAL burned the iso and it works?

 

Are you referring to the DNL release? If so, it has not been reported as a nuke.

 

hey nrk i used maxell +r dvds and they work fine for me. So far the sanadreas has been ok except for one ting. soemtimes when im playing this thing comes up for a few seconds saying error touble reading disk. do u think i should re-burn it at a slow speed because its such a large game. i originally burned it at a speed of 4x can you help me please i would appriciate it.

 

im talking about the [[PS2]]-NEED FOR SPEED UNDERGROUND 2 PAL MULTI5 FULLDVD release

 

recca-kun,

I used Ritek G05 burned at 1X for San Andreas and it gave me those errors.

I switched to TDK burned at 1X and that has worked great. I've played for hours without any errors popping up.

Try burning at 1X and if that doesn't help, make the switch to TDK.


hampage,

Did you get the version released by the warez group DNL? Was it titled like this:

Need.For.Speed.Underground.2.PAL.MULTI5.DVD.PS2-DNL

 

No, I have writen in the last message the file name.

 

It might be a bad iso. It's not the DNL release so I can't tell you if it works or not. Try to get the USA release while it's still available.

 

where can I get it? only found PAL version DNL

 

[bold]hey again[/bold]

Ok i re did it with 1x speed and it didnt work so i think i will go with tdk. but the strange thing was when i was burning it with decrypter it said it was going at a speed of 4.6 x even though i put it to 1x speed. do u think that it was the problem.

 

It could be that your burner doesn't support 1X.

 

hey all, i can't seem to get my version of sims: the urbs patched to work. burning it as pal runs but runs vertically and is black and white. after a pal2ntsc patch it freezes in the beginning. any ideas as to what will make it patch correctly?

 

hey does i d/l a version of need for speed off bitconsole.com and it has to stop to load non stop. Cant even play it really... is this because of my disc quality? (Melody dvd-r) i dunno if its even name brand i got it cheap... or is it because of the actual game file itself.?

 

sasuke33,

If the pal2ntsc doesn't work, try the adr patcher discussed in this thread.

anth4207,

Try professional grade media like TDK or Verbatim.

I download the game as well and I burned at the lowest speed I had (think it was 2x) and burned to verbatim dvd-r disc and have the exact same problem.

 

hmm so it is probably the file itself... dammit..!!!

 

I for one use swap magic for my backed up games. And whenever i play a PAL game i use a disc called CD Loader that automatically converts PAL into NTSC for the most part. The only thing is for some games, the screen isn't centered. If anyone uses swapmagic or cogswap or something like that, i can direct u to the site where to get CD Loader...

 

Well I tried the Adr Patcher, unlike the pal2ntsc it didn't freeze at the beginning picture. It just stayed at a black screen, and nothing ever came up. Any other ideas on how to get this to work?

Thanks alot!

 

the cdloader loads up dvd formated games?

 

Most likely means that it cant be patched. Unless of course my good friend NRK has something else that might work.
