							What game is it?
 
 
 This is from the faq in my first post:
 
 5)Can I tell what region the disc is before burning the backup?
 Yes.  Put your original into your dvd drive.  Locate the elf file.  If it is named SLUS or SCUS, it will be the USA release.  If it is named SLES or SCES, it will be the PAL release.  If you just have the .iso file of the game and you don't have the orignal, you can use IsoBuster to view the files of the game.

							The Colin McRae games can't be patched.  I would suggest getting a modchip that will convert the signal for you.  Try the dms4 pro or Matrix Infinity.

 Yes. Put your original into your dvd drive. Locate the elf file. If it is named SLUS or SCUS, it will be the USA release. If it is named SLES or SCES, it will be the PAL release. If you just have the .iso file of the game and you don't have the orignal, you can use IsoBuster to view the files of the game.
  Use IsoBuster and open the .bin image file to view the contents of the disc.

 Make sure you have winrar installed on your computer.  You can get it from here:
 http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar342.exe 
 1)Run winrar.exe
 Default location C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe
 
 2)Select File-->Browse for folder
 
 3)Locate the folder with the Tekken5 archive.
 
 4)Right click on the file named e-tekken5.001.  Select Extract to the specified folder.  Locate a place to extract the image to.
 
 5)Burn the image to dvd-r using DVD Decrypter.
 
 
 This is what it should look like.

							Kessen III will work, if you have a modchip installed.  It wont work with boot discs.
 
 As for, GT4, there has been no proven method for copying the game.  So, if you want to play it on your NTSC system, I would buy the USA version.

  No.  This game can't be copied.  People are still trying to figure out a way to copy it, but as of right now, no one has been able to find a way of copying it.
 
 
Quote: what's a elf file? 
  An elf file is the ps2 executable file.  Each game has one.  The game wouldn't run without it.
 
 
 Did you download this game, or did you buy it?  What country did you live in?  Here's a chart of the world's standards.  You can identify what standard your country uses.  If you burn the game and it plays without any problems with the screen, that it uses the same standard as your country does.  If the game plays in black and white and the screen is off-center, then the game uses a different video standard than your country uses.
