Ok you are trying to play either a PAL/NTSC game on a NTSC/PAL PS2.
Read #37 of this faq.
Be advised though as it says, it won't be perfect with using Swap Magic. You are better off to find the backup the same region as your PS2.

I am not sure I followed your last sentence at all.
I gather then you are saying you have NTSC USA PS2 and the game is NTSC USA also.
There is no fast way to fix PAL games for NTSC.
Here is a good thread on PAL to NTSC games. Some games have a selector and others you need to do the y-fix.

Ok so if you want PAL games to work then, you will have to do the y-fix, but check the link I gave you above to see what has been done for that particular PAL game. They do not all work when using swap magic.
A modchip is the best thing, and only thing really for playing PAL backups on a NTSC PS2.
Some games have a 50/60 hertz selector in them, and that then is fine, you would choose the 60 hertz to play them properly.
Otherwise it is just best to have the NTSC backup game and play it.

Yes you can, and not wishing to sound rude, but if you had read down the whole post of the thread I posted above to you, you would have seen that.
So go to Programs you might need: in this thread.

Please read through it all as it will give you the programs, and pictures to show you.
Hope that helps you out.

Firstly what is the name of your backup game. Maybe then we can tell you if anyone has had success with it on NTSC PS2.
Did it show the game, then turn Black, or was it just black to start with.
Also if the screen is now black after the y-fix, you can either restore the backup.elf file it made when patching with the y-fix to get it back where it was.
Always a good idea to make a copy of your ISO to play around with before making changes.
Or you can download the ADR Patcher and try patching it again. I have had that work for me in the past.

@thecool
Let's stop with all the back to back posts - just edit your previous post instead.
Try and use proper English - sorry but some of your posts are hard to decipher.
