Playing PAL PS2 games on an NTSC PS2

I used y-fix and transfered the iso to a HD and I get the black screen.

I dont even know the model of the chip, but I never get that error before with any game transfered to a HD. (Hitachi, 120gb)

 

Sorry Mate,I dont have experience with loading games off HD`s,cant help you.Try another thread in the HD category.

 

Hi,
I have PS2 Bought from USA which supports NTSC format DVD only. Where as now I am in India and I have bought some game DVD's (Cricket) which is in PAL format (DVD). I followed the steps as mentioned "Patching PS2 PAL games to NTSC using PS2 PAL TO NTSC PATCHER WITH Y-FIX V1.05 BETA " and converted the DVD's but when I put the DVD in PS2 it says "Please insert correct PS2 format discs" Any idea what will be the problem. I have already wasted 3 DVD's. Not getting any luck to convert the games for my PS2.
Any suggesstions will be of great help to me.

Thanks,
AT

Do you have a Mod Chip for you Playstation?
If you want to play imported or backed up copies of games you will need to install a mod chip or use swap magic disk to play them.

 

Hi Cookieboy,

Thanks for update. I dont have Mod chip installed in my PS2. How can we do this?
Does the swap magic disk help in running the games, If it can run the games then I'll prefer not to do any hardware changes.
Could you Please let me know from where I can get "swap magic disk"

Thanks,
AT

 

AT,if you do an internet search for modchips,you should get a plethora of hits.I bought my swap magic disk from a company in Austria and had it shipped to Japan.It took 6 days to get here and works great.You will find that your`e back ups you made are all fine.
The Swap Magic disk is probably the easiest method of playing back up games or imports,especially if you dont want to void the warranty or fiddle about with the guts of the machine.

 

Hi Cookieboy,

Can I download this "swap magic disk" from some where. At the end it would be a program which we can write in the format which works in PS2. Any leads towards that will be helpful.

Thanks,
Ajay

 

No,its a pressed disc and even if you downloaded the image it would not work,I have already tried this and it`s a no go.
Its much easier just to buy it and DIY.

 

I live in Canada .I bought a Ps2(ntsc). I ordered brian lara international cricket 2005 from the UK, which is Pal . So if i put a modchip in my Ps2 will brian lara 2005(pal) work perfectly ??? Like nice sound , colors and graphics ... ???

It should work,I can play Pal games on my NTSC PS2 but because the PAL resolution is greater,the bottom of the screen is cut off.You can however,back up the game and patch it with a PAL to NTSC fix using a 56 Y axis offset for a fuller picture.

 

i want to know if there's a way to unpatch the iso file

i used PS2 PAL TO NTSC PATCHER WITH Y-FIX V1.06 BETA to patch the iso file and i found out the game has the NTSC 60Hz setting in game.

i can't seem to be able to find the backup file of my iso any suggestions?

the file name was cfn-pes5.iso
i tried looking for cfn-pes5.iso.bak and cfn-pes5.iso.elf can't seem to find it and i forgot where it was backed up.

 

Hello everyone,

I have a NTSC PS2 with Swap Magic 3.6. I tried to play Ace Combat Squad Leader and Budokai Tenkaichi (both PAL versions). I used the special boot function with the NTSC option, but the screen still flickers for some reason. Could it have something to do with my PS2 having the Hard Drive? It seems to work for everyone else.

 

Hi to every one.

Guys my story is something ..like this .i saw add of codebreaker and ordered it in sep05 due to some delivery problem i received very late means 2 days back. and when i put in my ps2slim nothing showed up. man i am busted... for all this i was waiting ...the thing is i think its not booting up.. >> my ps2 slim is with the mode chip << my all games are working fine i never faced any problem ...

any idea how work it ..the codebreaker... ..

 

For those who experience the same problem as me all you have to do is take off your PS2 hard drive for the NTSC option to work on PAL games... I know it sounds silly, but that is what was preventing me from playing PAL games in NTSC mode. I guess some how the Hard Drive reset the options of the Swap Magic disc when I booted up the game.

 

Hey does anyone know if the Sims 2 for PS2 has a screen adjuster in the menu options??
Ta

 

Yes in options...Does Star Wars Battlefront 2 have a screen adjuster?

 

i have a ps2 that i bought in america that is NTSC but im living overseas. I bought a PAL game here and tried to follow the directions at the top of the first page so i could burn it into an NTSC game, but when i put the disc into my ps2 it says that it is not a valid ps2 disc. Any ideas?

 

What type of Mod chip are you using lilwjohn?

 

I dont no, just a regular one that came with my ps2 when i bought it in america.

 

adam31: unfortunately Battlefront 2 does not have any options for adjusting the screen. If you use the adr_patcher linked to elsewhere in this forum, you can patch it with the PAL to NTSC ROUTINE (NO Y POS) patch, and the game is playable. But it looks like the right and bottom edges are cut off a bit.

I tried the ps2_pal2ntsc_yfix.exe patch, but it didn't work.

If anyone has been able to patch the PAL Battlefront 2 to NTSC properly, please let me know! I'm burning coasters like mad!
