Playing PAL PS2 games on an NTSC PS2

Hello guys, i'm new here.

I'm french, i've got a PAL modded PS2 and i need some help.

I recently bought the US version of Final Fantasy X so i could get full NTSC display without FMV glitches (as it happens when patching with pal2ntsc). But the guys at square forgot one simple option ; the SCREEN ADJUST.

On my CRT TV, most of my ntsc games display correctly, even without a screen adjust option, but some games like FFX display extremely bad : the screen is not centered at all, it goes way too much to the top, and a little to the left.

So i need to know if there's a way to fix it, by patching the game for example(modifying a file with an hex editor and creating some kinf of .PPF patch, but i really don' know how to do that), or if a "patcher" program, like "pal2ntsc", that could let you choose the correct values (Y-axis AND X-axis if possible) before patching, actually exists.

Any advice is welcome, thanks.

 

Can someone PM me the link on where to get this PS2 PAL TO NTSC PATCHER please??

save the file and rename the extention from jpg to zip. Then, extract the zip using winzip or winrar.

 

Thanks

 

getting games to show up and play aren't really my problem. every PAL game i've played has problems. loading. music/voice tracks skipping. game not loading up a stage or something. im using verbatim dvds, burning at 1x speed, and patching them. im not sure what im doing wrong.

 

Hi, I just patched a downloaded PAL game from the net. Now my game is running 2X faster than it is supposed to. What do I do? Thank you

 

Is the SLPS, SLPM PAL or NTSC. I know SLUS or SCUS is NTSC and SLES or SCES is PAL. Anybody know? Please help.

 

SLPM is NTSC, it's just that the game comes from Japan. As for SLPS, I'm not sure what it is, but I think it's the same.

 

I would like to add a few games to the list:

Alien Hominid: Use the PAL to NTSC patcher.

Contra- Shattered Soldier: Select NTSC on the first menu screen.

Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore- Use PAL to NTSC patcher.

Katamari Damacy- Use PAL to NTSC patcher.

Outrun Coast to Coast: Use PAL to NTSC patcher.

Final Fantasy X-2: Use PAL to NTSC patcher.

Final Fantasy XII: Use PAL to NTSC patcher.

 

Has anyone had any luck with SingStar games?
I patch the game and it starts loading and when the intro video comes.. there is sound but no picture thats if i fix the screen position. If I just change to NTSC without any other changes the game runs but the audio is out of sync with the video.. Please help
I really really want to play these games.

 

^^Valmont^^^,

If the game has a NTSC/PAL selector, you do not need to patch the game.
However if you've already patched it, try running it in PAL mode instead. I had to do this with Contra Shattered Soldier; i patched it, loaded the game only to find out that it has a selector.

Or if you still have the original game/file, just reburn it without patching.

 

The game is in PAL.
I dont know what am I doing wrong.
I really really want to play this game.

 

I have a Japan .iso, do i need to patch this also, or will it work in a ntsc ps2?

 

hi every1
i live in north america. my ps2 is multi standard ( it plays ntsc and pal ) but i have a NTSC tv.
as advised in the beg of the topic ,i bought one of the pal > Ntsc video converter (Link ).
it does solve the color issue , but the screens still rolls , making it impossible to play , is der something i can do abt it , or something i am doing wrong

Thanx

 

Got a bit of a problem here. I have tried to patch Colin McRae Rally 04 to NTSC(I'm running it off a USB hard drive, not a DVD) because when I used it on the hard drive, the colors are good, but the screen is cut off at the top and rolls vertically(I have a DMS4 SE Lite in my console, set to NTSC video mode). When I try to boot the game, it black-screens on me(I used the PAL to NTSC patcher with Y-Fix). I still have the unpatched SLES ID of the game, so my question is, how do you put back the original SLES into the disc image?

EDIT: Never mind, I found out I had to use ADR. This could probably also work on a DVD. This could be added to the list:

Colin McRae Rally 04- Black screens with PS2 PAL-NTSC Patcher with Y-Fix, but works with ADR(you can perfectly center the screen in-game).

 

Does Shadow the Hedgehog have a 50/60 Hz selector?

 

@valmont: Since PAL & NTSC run at different video speeds, you will never be able to sync the audio with the video exactly on a game. Unless someone writes a utility to speed up or slow down all the audio (which is next to impossible), they will always be out of sync.
@limelight: To play a Japanese or Euro game in your NTSC U.S. system, you'll need either a m0dch1p or swap magic. I use the Swap Magic v3.6 for all my imported games. Works like a charm.

 

Modchips though, DO syncronize audio and video when displaying PAL games in NTSC mode. I have a PAL backup(Red Baron), which is unpatched, just forced NTSC video mode in my DMS4, and the game's audio and video are fully in sync. Also patched Colin McRae Rally 04 with ADR to run it without the screen rolling around in USBeXtreme, and audio and video are fully synced, except I have some slowdowns in gameplay(like I care, I used to have it on my computer and it played much worse than that; I have a crappy Pentium III computer, so duh). Same with Colin McRae Rally 2005.

 

hey all stupid question but...does using the pal-nstc patch also region change??? I have been using dycrypter for a long time now (grt software) but mostly for DVD's.
I am in a Pal region and have purchased an NSTC PS3 60gb, and as all games in my region are PAl/zone locked i need to first convert them to NSTC and at the same time make sure they are region free...if any of this makes sense...cheers from downunder

 

Hi everyone if you patch a game from ntsc 2 pal and they dont work this, is wat i do: first i put the image of the game on the harddrive and then i rebuild it using this guide http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/18/275350 and then i patch it from ntsc to pal(and pick pn selector) and then i burn it i have only tried this with marvel ultimate alliance because thats the only game that i had to rebuild so far and when the game loads it will ask you to pick a signal i pick the pal just the pal one not the pal y-fix i tried that and it did'nt work and i dont know about ntsc because i have never tried it but i think it will be black and white from bhee
