    You can image the DVD that you already burned. You Can NOT reburn on the same DVD unless it is a DVD-RW.

    I have not tried it but supposidly you will be able to run it via HDLoader without the Audio/Video mess up.

    Does anyone mind giving me a start to finish step process? I want to play Singstar Bollywood here in America. I have a NTSC PS2. It has been acting up so I could get a new PS2. I don't think it would be smart to get a PAL PS2 because I *may* need it again to play US PS2 games (then again, I do have the PS3 which is backwards compatible so.. maybe I wouldn't?). I do have a Multi system TV, but would prefer to play on a NTSC TV.

    I have nothing modded, no HD, and am not sure where to go to get either. I'm very new to this type of stuf. I'm a casual gamer if that.

    I hope it works the only problem I seem to have is that I'm one cheap bastard and dont feel like paying a crap load of money to get one of those signal converters online, I hope I can find one at a local place near me, if someone can tell me if that idea I had would work 100% or not, PLEASE someone give me the correct answer.

    That is the guide I used to get HD Loader working on my PS2. You can either use that, Swap Magic (haven't tried it personally) or a modchip (haven't tried it out either) Then you'll either need to play Singstar Bollywood on your multisystem TV or on an NTSC TV with a PAL to NTSC signal converter. You can patch the game but you'll have audio/video sync problems. The signal converter SHOULD fix the sync problems according to another AD fourm but I haven't tried it out myself.

    That seems to be what the majority of people are saying I'm getting more positive feedback on this idea than negative. So I might just go out and buy it

    I'll totally tell all of you guys how it goes, I don't have Bollywood I have Legends pal version. I really hope it works. I want to sing Paranoid and Imagine, on Singstar lol. I even go to parties where one of the biggest things we play Singstar with tons of people and it would def, give more song choices

    Hi Everyone:

    A friend gave me the game "Gun" for the PS2. It was made by Activision/Neversoft. I have discovered that it is a PAL game, however. My tv is NTSC. The pictures scrolls on the tv.

    I understand that I can select NTSC at some point at the start of the game. I cannot see where to do this because of the scrolling. Does anyone know where the NTSC option appears at the start?

    Thanks

    Patchable for HD Loader? If thats what your asking, make a backup of your CD image and try it. I don't think there is any place where you can make sure it works.

    Can't help you there, I have never used Swap Magic. You could try with DVD-RWs if your PS2 can read them, only some can.

    Sorry for bringing up this thread from the deep, but I need a question answered. I just patched a game and I was reading over the screen and it said that it had skipped two sections, is this ok? will the game still run?
