PAL - B&W, NTSC - Black Screen

Forgive me if anyone has come across this answer before. I've been searching the forums and cannot seem to find an answer to this yet.

I've tried the "PS2 PAL to NTSC Video Mode Changer with Y-FIX" with a PAL .iso file.

At first I didn't realize it was in PAL format so it played in a rolling black and white screen.

After I patched the file, (supposedly successfully) and burnt (successful as well, no errors were mentioned) the disc went past the "Playstation 2" screen but remained black after that. A slight flash inbetween like when any game loads from one screen to the next but that's it.

What could be wrong? Many thanks in advance.

 

i had the same problem. unfortunately, the only way i could fix it was by buying a new TV that was both NTSC and Pal compatible.

 

I gave it another shot. Different program, different selection, converted the iso over again.

In the PAL to NTSC program I checked off the "Make PN Selector". Game only works when in NTSC mode though. (not NTSC mode with Y. Fills the entire screen, not cut off, for me at least.)

I don't think it had any difference but I tried DVD Decrypter (made sure it was burning at 1x, even though it did it at about 2.4x) and like I said, did the converted iso over again.

Just thought that I'd add this bit in case anyone else is having the same problem.

Thanks for the help too Matt.

 

I have an OFF TOPIC question here. I have a SLIM LINE PS2 and I'm trying to transfer a save from my PC. Is there a way to burn this to DVD so that it can be copied? I've heard that Slim Lines don't respond to the INdepence Exploit And also... if you can copy a save to your memory card from a Demo Disc why can't you do it with a DVD R?

 

*whistle*

you got me. I don't have a clue about slimlines, etc. I have heard something of the sort that the "rules" are different vs the older ps2 consoles.

maybe it's the fact that i need some shut eye, but hopefully someone will answer your question soon.

 

Alright, my problem continues. The disc I made from the patch plays the PAL version, the NTSC version but not the NTSC Y-axis version. Why is this? Any ideas?

(edited): i'm trying to think of anything that could be the problem. is it the V1.06 Beta version? Too new? Newer versions out there? My PS2 never has a problem with +R discs but in this case could that be the error?

Thanks again.

 

hey how do we know if our TV compatible with NTSC and Pal, I have a Sone Trinitro Wega 24" does anybody know if it has NTSC and Pal compatible cause I have a Pal game and when i play it the sreen just like when you're watching TV and you loose signal and it black and white too

 

(i'm new to this but...)

if your tv is displaying anything from your pal game, it is capable. it's your pal disc that needs to be converted to ntsc to match your tv.

 

but it not display the right way it poping up and down hella fast and in Black and white if it does compatible how do i switch it to PAL mode

 

You would need to convert the files that are on the disc to NTSC mode from it's original PAL mode.
