    I have a rather odd problem. I dont know if it was addressed in this thread already, if it has, just give me a page number.

    I use hdl dumb to put games on my hard drive then use a hdloader elf to load them. I recently downloaded Madden 08 PAL. I use the patches yet it seems that the game screen is still too big for my tv screen. Any help?

    For Resident Evil 4, do this:

    When it loads initially to the first screen you see (without any RE4 save)
    Press the buttons in this order: X, down, X
    Then down, and X.

    It will work fine.

    Hello.
    I'm a noob in this topic, so I think it's better to ask again.
    If I have a multisystem TV do I need to do anything or PS2 will play any game the way it should be? I'm talking about NTSC PS2 + PAL game + multisystem TV. Do I need to do anything to play in color?

    Thanks a lot.

    I was trying to patch One Piece: Grand Adventure (SLES_541.65) with PS2 Pal to NTSC patcher with Y-Fix and I set the Y-Offset to 64. After I burned the image and booted the disk I got a lot of green columns in the middle of the screen and the rest of the picture is also in more or less correctly colored columns. How do I fix it?
    Also, if I buy that signal converter, is the picture gonna be shown normally and Y-centered?

    If you can play the Singstar series in black and white keep reading,
    this is my solution playing PAL versions of Singstar in a NTSC ps2 ,
    DON'T convert them to NTSC just load the Swap Magic disc in PS2, when it loads change in the menu the setting to PAL and the game will load with no prob perfectly in sync lyrics and game lines and video only thing is everything will be in black and white.

    Im also having problems with that game though it should be compatible according to http://www.absoluteanime.com/hdloader.html
    Edit: Leave it unpatched and there is an option to choose NTSC/PAL when the game loads.

    I am in the U.S. and wish to buy a legitimate Bollywood Singstar from the UK or India for my PS2 which I assume is NTSC (since it was bought here). My PS2 is not modded or anything.

    However, I do have a multi-system TV that we got from Saudi Arabia a few years back (a 29" sony Wega). (It has a foreign plug and needs an adaptor). So as long as my TV can handle the PAL signal, my PS2 can output the PAL game just fine? Or do I need to do something special to my PS2.

    No, your PS2 needs a modchip or HD Loader. Even if the game is legit, the NTSC PS2 is not set to read PAL games and therefore it will see it as a non legit disc.

    What brand are your DVDs, in what way is your PS2 modded, Do you hear clicking from the PS2 when attempting to read the DVDs that you burned?

    Yes you can back up a DVD that you already burned.
