    Hi has anybody been able to convert NHL2K7 (PAL) to NSTC?

    I've followed the guide and used ps2 pal to ntsc patcher and adr patcher to no avail.

    I used 48 and 40 offset for the pal to ntsc patcher but the screen just goes black and no image can be seen. After a few seconds the screen starts to roll and still no image.

    I used adrpatcher but it seems that nothing happened. The screen rolls and the images are in black and white.

    I was able to convert darkcloud(PAL) to NTSC

    There is a warning "Warning: ELF header section not found" on the logs
    Could this be the reason? If so how do i fix it?

    What could I be doing wrong here? Good thing I used dvdrw or I would have wasted 4 dvdr's already hehehe.

    I am getting 4 horizontal displays on my TV screen whenever i try to play some games on my PS2,it doesnt happen with all the games but most of the games,what is the problem & please give me a possibl solution.
    I hope u guys understand,its like after the game starts it gives me 4 split screen picture,but the game Hitman is working coz its got the options of NTSC & PAL & when i choose NTSC the same thing happens but when i choose PAL its allright.
    I think its the same NTSC/PAL problem again.
    I am living in India which is a PAL region & i've got games which are in NTSC format,what should i do? can i convert them & write it?
    If u ppl are sure dat it would work then please provide me a download link which convert ISO images of PS2 dvd's from NTSC to PAL.

    i used adr_patcher.exe to convert a PAL game to NTSC [ Singstar Anthems] and it said it patched it, but when i open up the iso in magiciso, it still has the old PAL format SCES. Is this normal even though it supposenly patched it? or is it suppose to say a NTSC format ?

    j'ai la matrix 3 (ou 3.1 ... sa fait un sacré bout d'temps)

    sinon j'arrive meme pas a voir l'intro moi... avec la version pal le jeu se lance mais bon en noir et blanc avec l'image qui saute, et quand je la patche, je vois le logo playstation et apres plus rien...

    me I even don't see the intro, with the pal the game is black and white and when I patch it, I see the paystation logo and it stop there...

    but limelight said he was able to convert the game (page 30) he use the patcher 1.06

    and when you said you see the intro, you mean the cloud with the menu load game, etc? Why me it's stop after the logo...?

    Exactely like you. I am able to launch the game in black and white. But if I patch it, I see the logo, then it starts with the clouds, then the game freezes. I didn't know that limelight was able to convert it. Really hope that he could help us on that one.

    Ive heard that people are having trouble with FFXII. Its been a long time so i'll try not to leave anything out, but i might get the order mixed up. Either way, here goes.

    1.After having the iso file, use PAL to NTSC patcher. Dont click on the "offset" box.
    2.Then go to http://www.ps2hd.com/list/index.php and scroll down to the FFXII (usa version...i know its the usa version, but it worked) and hover the mouse over the question mark. U need that patch to well...patch the game...again, so it'll work on hdloader (dont forget Mode 3 !!!)

    I cant remember if i patched the game first and then did the pal to ntsc second, so those steps above may be in the wrong order.

    Im pretty sure thats all i did. Hopefully i didnt leave anything out. My apologies if i did in advance. Have fun.

    some questions for you limelight:

    - did you use PS2 PAL TO NTSC PATCHER WITH Y-FIX V1.06 BETA to patch the game ?
    - if so, what do you mean by 'dont click on the "offset" box'
    - which 2nd patch did you use ? is it from that page http://www.console-exploits.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8353&highlight=final+fantasy ?
    - which one did you choose ? Brendo or Jevahose ?
    - to aplly those patches I need to use PPF-O-Matic ?

    Thanks for your help

    hum... I foud a new patcher... he's name "Vfix 2005" and can be found there : http://www.megaupload.com/fr/?d=0CNXMGYX

    With this patch, for me i have the colour, but the screen is jumping again... anyway the game is working in colour now... and in french :D (but it's not playable due to the jumping screen :(

    With Adr, the game is launching, i can see the intro/cloud for about 1 second and after the screen freeze...

    With the patcher 1.06, the game simply not boot at all...

    So if there was a possibility to just arrange the jumping screen... with the vfix it will work fine...

    However, thanks for the help limelight, but i'm not sure to understand... does the patch you talk is for booting on the hd?
    And like wazz said, what do you mean by "offset box"?

    I scrap a lot of dvd today, i think i'm gonna take a break tonight ^_^

    Am can you upload it in megashare instead? I have a hardtime downloading from megaupload

    I don't mind playing in black and white I just need the screen to not jump. Is there anyway to stop that? I was able to convert NHL2k7 to ntsc and it has color but like you the screen jumps.

    Can a multisystem television fix that? Still I don't want to buy a new TV just for that and besides I don't have the money.


    I think he means the offset checkbox which let's you apply the offset of 32-40.

    You could always use DVD-/+RW so that you don't waste dvdrs. That's what I do.

    it's not me that upload it but anyway ====> http://www.MegaShare.com/221905

    Hum personnaly I want colour, a game in black and white not sure it's fun but anyway... did you try the patcher 1.06 on the first thread? And the Adr patcher? What do you get from these 2 patch? And you can try this vfix 2005 but for me it only change the colour, maybe not for you. Coz these patch are suposed to fix most of the game (except some like Final Fantasy XII and maybe your NHL)

    The only other thing i see it's to buy a video system converter PAL to NTSC, which if I understand will allow to convert the PAL signal to play on NTSC console and tv... for about 30-50$ (so fix the rolling screen i think)


    As for the offset box, i know but I think he said to not change the value (48 as defalut) coz we can't remove this option... anyway

    And the dvdrw, sure, but my ps2 can't read them, so... lot of scrap there (anyway... it's not 5 bucks each either)

    And for Final fantasy XII, does you suceed wazz? or maybe reekeam

    I will try those to patch (jevahose or brenda) it's said that it arrange the black screen (that i got)... we're gonna see...
