    The only problem I have with playing PAL games on my moddes ps2 is that I get only black and white screen, I don't have the a rolling screen or parts that don't fit on the screen. My question is how do I patch these games so that I do get colour when playing these games ,that means patch them to ntsc right???

    Also can I patch any kind of PAL game or only some specific ones? Let's say for example "Harvest MOon a wonderful life", can I patch this one?

    @Srx7
    Probably not compatible with S.Magic 2...
    There is a thread you can read up on it..

    How old is your mod chip? I had an old mod chip that fixed the vertical rolls but not the colour so had to get a Pal to Ntsc TV adapter just to fix the colour problem...

    No problem.You can patch your games with a Pal to Ntsc fix,I posted a link in this thread a few days ago to the patch,before you buy the adapter you could try this method but the best way to play Pal games is wih the adapter...

    I did patched the game from pal to NTSC using the technique in the forum. the game is (Medal of Honor)PS2. when I boot the game I see 3 choices NTSC Y-fix, NTSC and PAL. When i click either one, it gets stuck in there. I tried it so many times but it didnt work. CAN someone tell me what is the problem.

    @ Phat h
    The PAL to NTSC fix is for playstation 2 games.I`m sure there is a patch for making region free DVD movies somewhere in the video section.
    Does your DVD player have a multisystem option?

    Thanks for your reply. My system only plays NTSC format. It is not a multi-system DVD player.

    Ok. I own a copy of a PAL format Playstation 2 game. I tried to change it to NTSC with the conversion methods provided at the beginning of the topic, but when I go to load that on the PS2, it comes up with "Please insert a Playstation or Playstation 2 format disc." Any ideas what the problem might be? I tried it multiple times.

    hiya. I found this thread via google, since I was sick of making coasters (although i never have to worry about watermarks again :D)

    anywho, before i experiment with more potential coasters, I was wondering if the pal2ntsc patcher with y-fix also adds colour to the games, because they're in black and white. if it doesnt, imo its not worth it just to see the bottom of the screen
