Playing PAL PS2 games on an NTSC PS2

Do you think if i tried a lower offset it might work?

 

Well what going here, i have NTSC-U console ... with Final Fantasy 12 PAL FRENCH ... it crash at the intro ... with 60hz mode but with 50hz mode it ok but the screen roll ...

Confuse

 

I have leisure suit larry for ps2 but its in pal version and I need it in NTSC. I tired to do the ADR patch and the dvd decrypter. Each time I put the game in my PS2 I get a message poping up saying put in a playstation or playstation format disc wat should i do. I'm new at this and confused on wat to do next.

 

hey everyone I have a black and white game of Rugby that I patch with the instructions given. My problem is that when I try running the patched Iso version, the system will read Playstation and then the screen will go all black and nothing else will appear. what can I do in this case? can someone please help me?

 

Hey everyone,

First off, thanks nrk4594 for recommending the y-fix program.
it's certainly been a great help.

I was wondering if anyone knows if the PAL version of "Made Man"
has to be set to something other then the default 48z. The game loads fine, but the alignment is off, as the image appears ghosted vertically .

Also, I patched the PAL version of "Eagle Eye Golf", and the Swap magic 3.3 program tells me it's not a valid PS2 disc. Perhaps these are games that can't be patched.

Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again.

 

Does anyone manage to backup Final Fantasy XII PAL version to play on a NTSC PS2 ?

 

Hey, i'm havin a hard time locating the patched ISO file @ step 3 ...

At step 2, when that window appeared, i pressed OK too quickly and i'm assuming it tells you where the location is at.

And whenever i tried patching it again, it keeps saying it's already been patched... and i tried ADR as well, and it also told me that it's been patched already...help please? Thanks in advance.

 

Hey PoppinKen,

I believe that your Patched ISO file is where ever you have saved the original one before. All it did was patch the original one. You probably saw something of a backup, but don't worry you really do not need that.

 

Ah, I burned it and got it to load in my ps2 but one huge problem... right after the "Select PAL / NSTC / etc..." screen, I chose them all one by one and the screen just turns dead black. The game I'm trying to burn is DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 (PAL)...and when i play it, the whole thing is in black and white...so i'm trying to play it in NTSC format.

Got any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks again in advance.

 

hey, i'm working with Gran Turismo 3
question: i use the patcher, burn the game, everything seems to work, except when the game gets to the select language screen, the screen loops, like the v-sync is off or something? and doesnt go away? any ideas why?

 

Did you (or anyone else) ever find a solution to this problem? I received F1 2006 from Australia today. It seems to play fine on my US PS2 when forced to NTSC, however I'd rather have it saved to the hard drive like all of my other games. The video appears fine but the sound is seriously messed up when played off the hard drive.

 

I'm in the same boat using HD Advance. I've done some research and I've discovered that if you use the "freeware" version of HD Advnace (HDLoader) there is a DMA option that you can set that will elminate these issues with the sound.

My PS2 is in the process of getting a Crystal Chip 2.0 PRO installed and I'll be working to get HDLoader working and try this out. I'll confirm this 100% and post all the results.

 

I'll look for a version with a DMA option tonight. I have a Matrix Infinity so I can try it quite easily.

**EDIT**

OK, it works! sort of anyway

I patched a clean version of hdloader. First I used a beta version from hxxp://www.ps2-scene.org/forums/latest-news/46979-hdl-patch-v0-7c-gui-release-9f.html

This allowed to me try the different UMDA and MDMA modes. MDMA appeared to make it work so I tried UDMA. UMDA 0,1,2 all worked. 3 and 4(4 is the default) did not work. I created a custom version with a fixed UMDA setting of 33MB/s but that also failed. I tried it with 22MB/s and that worked. Or it seemed to work, most things were fine however the in game sound still ended up being messed. I tried a few more options, MDMA1(13.3 MB/s) seemed to allow everything to work, but now everything else loads way too slow.
I suppose someone could patch hdloader to have a super slow HD access mode just for F1 2006. Makes me wonder just what they do in the game to get the speed right.
For reference my PS2 is a v3 with a matrix infinity and an original Sony 40 gig harddrive(really a Maxtor rebranded, this is the one included with Final Fantasy)

 

Ok I'm trying to patch Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkachi 2 but it says illegal file type? I have no clue what illegal things are going on. Maybe you could help explain this to me and fix my problemm too?

 

Does anyone managed to backup FFXII ? I have a PAL game that I want to play on my NTSC PS2.

I can manage to get the game running in black and white with the swapdisc (select Normal Mode). But if I select the NTSC Mode, I have the colors but the intro freezes 1 second later....

So I would like to know if anyone managed to backup that game and run it without any problem

 

Can anyone please tell me how to get the pal 2 ntsc converter.

thanks

 

actually never mind,found it.

(DO U NEED A FAT PS2???) plz email at i'manidiot.com edited by ddp or post back or private message me. i will check for updates. any1 else who can answer my problem plz answer


1)Make an ISO file of the game
a)Download and install DVD Decrypter.
hxxp://fileforum.betanews.com/sendfile/1011845169/1/SetupDVDDecrypter_3.5.4.0.exe
b)Run DVDDecrypter.exe
b)Select Mode-->Iso-->Read
c)For the Source, choose the dvd drive that has the game in it.
d)For the Destination, select a location to save the ISO file.
e)Select File-->Decrypt. This will now create the ISO for the game.


2)Patch the ISO file
a)Download PS2 PAL TO NTSC PATCHER WITH Y-FIX V1.06 BETA
hxxp://www.geocities.com/jayteemaster2003/ps2_pal2ntsc_yfix_source.zip
b)Run ps2_pal2ntsc_yfix.exe
c)Click Browse and select the iso file of the game
d)Select 48 as the Y-Fix offset. You cannot have it perfectly centered because the PAL signal has more lines or resolution than the NTSC signal does. This is as close as you can get. You can raise the offset if you need to see more of the bottom of the screen or you could lower the offset if you want to see more of the top of the screen.
e)I choose to uncheck Make PN Selector
f)Click PATCH FILE. The following screen will pop up.
g)This means that the elf file of the game was backed up to your hard drive. Just click ok and exit the program.


3)Burn the patched ISO file
a)Run DVDDecrypter.exe
b)Select Mode-->Iso-->Write
c)For the Source, locate your patched ISO file. The program patches and overwrites your orignal ISO file. Select your orignal ISO file.
e)For the Destination, select the dvd drive you wish to burn the game.
f)Select your prefered write speed
g)Select File-->Write. This will now burn the game.

 

Please someone tell me that it is possible to patch Final Fantasy XII PAL to NTSC....
