Kessen III is a dvd9 game. The warez group PARADOX downsampled the video in order for the game to fit onto dvd5.

I patched He-man: Defender of Greyskull and the game plays fine but the FMV skips and studders. Is this normal for that game ??

For some games, the videos will be messed up, but the actual gameplay will be normal.

hello,
i can't find this "elf file" os something like SLUS OR SCES on the mounted CD.

what's a elf file?


here i can see 2 folders:
-MODULES
-PS2
in each folder i have a lot of .irx files

the game is Marvel VS Capcom 2 and it's originally released as =CD=

how can i know if is NTSC?


thanks in advance :)

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.
Hello.
I'm living in Brazil, using PS2 and TV in NTSC as standard.

I have downloaded the .cue/.bin of Marvel VS Capcom 2 CD, but i don't know if it's a NTSC copy.

I can't find this ELF file, what's this file .extension?

Please, help me to identify my copy before burning...

Do your files look like this?

The file named SLUS_208.57 is the elf file. Your file will be named one of these:

SLES_###.## - PAL
SLUS_###.## - NTSC
SCES_###.## - PAL
SCUS_###.## - NTSC
SCPS_###.## - I'm not sure
SLPS_###.## - I'm not sure
PBPX_###.## - I'm not sure

I just burned Singstar and Singstar Party, karaoke games in PAL format. I have an NTSC PSTwo with fliptop/swap magic combo.

When I run the game in NTSC format, the graphics look fine, but the game/video plays too fast, while the song plays at normal speed.

When I run it in PAL, it's hard to see (black/white and cycling vertically), but the karaoke prompts and video go the correct speed.

Is there anything I can do about this?

Edit: I ripped it, patched it to NTSC with the files from the first post and still have the speed/sync problem.

newmodder,

The only 100% effective solution is to get a mulitstandard tv. These are tv's that accept the PAL, NTSC, and in some cases, SECAM video signals. You can get some at a reasonable cost here:

bacana,

After doing a google search, it appears to be a game from Japan, in which case, it would use the NTSC signal.

I hypothesize that your television might have the capacity to perform your requested task. I might, however, be erroneous. Refer to the documentation that was supplied with the previously mentioned electronic device, to make certain of its capabilities.

metal gear solid 3 snake eater
+ pal2ntsc 1.06 doesn't find any patch location (test in sles_820.26 and netdown.elf)
+ adrenalin PAL to NTSC no y pos doesn't find any patch location.
+ there is any way to change to NTSC format????

Fifa Street :
+ doesn´t work with adrenalin, waste at least 5dvds to probe, just a black screen after playstation's logo.
+ same question....

Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow :
+ with pal2ntsc 1.06 patch both elf files, burn and play, works 100% for me, if patch directly the iso image the game still in PAL, you must patch all elf files.

Hey i havent been on this for a while. But even though this is sorta off topic i hope u can help me out please, because this is the most reliable forum room. lol
well my problem is i have this game file, but it is in a rar. i try to unrar it but when i try it just freezes. An iso shows up but its useless. I tried burning it but it doesnt work at all. So if any one knows can you please help me.
O and also im only using the evaluation/trial version of win ace if that helps at all.
and also besides having the iso there is a bunch of files that have numbers like 00 01 02 and etc ( i dont have to unrar the files they are already there). so once again please help me :(

When you convert the signal over to NTSC, the screen is off center. The converter will give you the same result as the adr patcher (assuming the game can be patched with it). What the y-fix program attempts to do is center the screen by changing the y-fix offset (moving the screen up), which is the same thing the vertical hold button does on tv's. Vertical hold buttons are mostly on very old tv's. Some newer tv's are able to move the screen position through the tv's menu navigation. Consult your tv's manual for your systems capabilities.
