    Hey, Has anyone tried this with Sniper Elite? I recently got the Pal vs of this game and tried both adr patcher and the pal to ntsc y patcher and both came out with same results. The programs seem like they have successfully patched but once the game loads its all black with just sound. On the left hand side i can barely make out a bit of what i think the screen should be. Its like the whole entire normal screen got shifted to the left leaving only a sliver to see. Can anyone help me?

    I'm finding more and more PAL games that don't look right unless they've been patched. The list includes Urban Reign, K*ng Kong & Soul Calibur III. I'm using SwapMagic v3.6 but it does the same on my friend's Matrix Infinity. The screen vertically is stretched. Games are playable; they just look bad.

    I recommend patching only when the game don't come in NTSC version or when you need a especific language that the ntsc version don't have. Patching sucks but is necesary. But not to patch every pal game.

    I got black, but I'm getting this double vision thing that's making the game unplayable, because it's confusing, but other than that, it looks and sounds great. Any ideas?

    nosakhare-never use a RW DVD or CD. i would recommend a DVD-R because older versions don't read +R

    Guys!!!
    Look this!

    [bold]
    In PAL the sound frames have a higher lenght than in NTSC because of the slower FPS (50 instead of 60).

    When you convert to NSTC you may be overbufering the sound buffers which causes the sound problems. This only happens you some games which lacck of syncronization, i.e., they are hard coded for PAL, at least is what i think.

    There is no fix for this at the moment.

    tepman,

    Thanks for the update. I'll add it to this list in the first post. For the games that have a 60hz option, could you list how to access it?

    For example:

    Conflict Vietnam - At the Main Menu, select options. Under options, select refresh rate. Select 60hz.

    or

    FIFA Football 2005 - At the Main Menu, select My FIFA 2005. Next, select Game Settings. Highlight NTSC and move it to the On position.



    got this from another site:

    FIFA Street 2
