Theres a lot of file with these names. What do i do?????
You could install powerISO,UltraISO,daemontools,Alcohol 120% or any other image apps to see if it's an Image file.
Basically the common image files are .mds,.cue(for cd's),.iso,.bin,.daa(not so common but use powerISO to convert it to others (iso bin) so that your app would recognize the file)
as for the r001 etc files, It's a WinRAR archive that is split into parts. It is usually used to split large files into small ones so that it could be uploaded to filehosts, or can fit flashdrives for transfering(of course you transfer the split files one by one)
Just right click on the file with no index(ususally .rar) and extract here or whatever extract method you choose

It's really simple, I patched my ISO with VFIX 2005 (link up there), burn it with DVD Decrypter (1x, to be sure lol), and it's working fine, no problem at this time (I saw the intro, and play a few minute in the castle) Even the screen was pratically well aligned, I move it just a little and now it's perfect.
For wazz, I have no grey line, the game exactly like my ntsc's one. Are you able to see the cinematics after the settings of the game? or when you start the game (after the settings), the screen stay black?
The only thing is that we seem to have different result from the patchers... maybe it depend on the iso... or probably the tv... me it's working on one of my tv, a philips, cathodic. On the others, I have a rolling screen. (Philips is probably better than JVC and citizen... lol)
If you tried all the patcher, on every TV you have, and it's not working, it's probably your TV... or the iso but I don't think it's the problem...
Good luck, if you have question i'll probably pass again... between 2 final fantasy... I must reach my english game lol

I click Extract Here on one of my R001 files. Then it became one Massive file around 4,000,000KB. Then i use Y-FIX V1.06 BETA to patch it. So then it can be readable for my T.V. Then i burned it into a DVD. It took up the whole DVD space and it didnt Succusfully burned becuz the file may be too big.
I think the problem is that i didnt make it into a .ISO file. If so how will i do that? Do i needa make it into a DVD first then convert it? I read the post but i didnt get it. Can someone help me?

Hi there! Following the method in this forum, I managed to fix a PS2 game from PAL to NTSC without any problems. However, I was unsuccessful with two games which are PS2 CD-ROM PAL games (and not DVD-ROM). "Wacky Races : Mad Motors" & "Flintstones: Bedrock Racing" are their titles. I have downloaded both games and have the bin/cue files. I also have the original release of the Wacky Races: Mad Motors game on CD-ROM. I was able to patch the games, using the Y-fix tool, used burnatonce to burn. The discs are booting, showing the PS2 logo, but the games simply don't start (black screen). Any help would be appreciated as I scrapped several discs already, trying a few things. Many Thanks!

Just fixed my own problem. Used Adr patcher to patch bin files + used alcohol 120% to burn cue files on maxell CD-Rs, choosing Playstation 2 data type, with lowest speed 4x. Works fine now.

Some guys report that RWs don't work for them but for me it works (I use a cheap DVD RW for test buring my avi(divx) movies and ps2 games). It could be the mod chip I don't know
If you don't have swap magic and/or hdloader(hdadvance)/usbextreme the n you definitely need a mod chip to be able to play backup games.
It really doesn't matter where you mod it whether you're in a PAL region or NTSC region just as long as the modchip is compatible with your ps2 model (at least that's what I think). To be sure ask the one who's going to mod your console if it is compatible with a PAL console or if you're going to mod it yourself be sure to buy a modchip that can convert between regions and is compatible with PAL versions. Modchip vendors usually have websites that you can get info from in choosing the modchip for you

First of all what is the file extension of the "Massive file" extracted? There are alot of cd/dvd image file extensions. To check if it is indeed a DVDimage load it with daemontools poweriso alcohol120% isobuster, or any other ISO tool you got. Check the contents of your DVD if it contains the same files as your original. Be sure to burn the Image not burn data dvd (if using nero or other all-in-one (AIO) burning software)
What is the exact size of the "Massive file"? Anything over 4400+ MB (size on disk) would require DVD9 (8.5Gig) media. What burn software did you use? It should have alerted you that the media size is insufficient before it started to burn to the disk.
As for "converting" to ISO you can use UltraIso/PowerIso to convert it directly.
Or you can load the image in daemon tools, alcohol, power iso etc and use your AIO burner or dvdripping software (ex DVD Decrypter)to rip and create an ISO image of the file.
Or instead of burning to your DVD drive directly change the destination to Image Recorder and save it as ISO in your harddrive and then burn that ISO file
NOTE: it doesn't really matter if the file is NOT in ISO format just as long as it is a DVD image file and that your burner recognizes it as such

Please be more detailed next time. People who wants to help shouldn't have to go back to the first message to see where you got stuck. Posting screen caps would greatly help in determining where you went wrong.
As for the answer...Im not really sure I understand this line
"Write,the problem is the write button is blank and not black the browse buton upwards"
I'm assuming this is DVD decrypter and that you have chosen the dvd image as source and that you have placed a DVD-R/RW on your DVD drive. The Write button should now be enabled (clickable).
Make sure that the DVD R/RW is empty, you can see it at the right pane (I use ImgBurn for burning so I don't know if it's the same for DVD decrypter but they are made by the same person)
Make sure that the reported filesize of the dvdIMAGE is smaller than the size of the dvd-r/rw (both can be seen on the program)

If you have a widescreen TV, you can get one line of the lyrics to appear at the bottom of the screen with color and in sync if you use PAL NTSC v-fix....

Yes I think the Y-FIX V1.06 BETA requires the image to be in ISO format.
Anyway, if the imagefile you used in yfix is not supported the program will tell you that you can't patch it.
You said that it is not ISO, I'm asking what is the extension then? And it doesn't matter what kind of extension it has, if it is greater than 4400MB it won't fit into a DVDr disc. You should get DVD9s or try to compress it to fit into a dvd5 disc. You can find tutorials on that here just search for it

Thanks for everything.My point is exactly that where can I find a modchip for PAL Consoloe in NY if I can even find one here or not. But you are right,if I need to have a ModChip to get my EU games working again I should might as well just buy a Signal Converter modchip :( I hoped I can get trhough this without moneyspending. Not like we are poor or something,its just my sis bought me a new PC and a NTSC PS2 so I can get myself entertained for my first summer in NY if I ask some more,my chances of getting a PS3 for Xmas will dramatically decrease...

Well there's no avoiding shelling out money if you want to play backups either you buy a modchip or swapmagic. I would recommend modchips since swapping discs wear out the lens more. I believe that modchips doesnt really care about the region cuz its primary purpose is to bypass the ps2 mediacheck. The region converter is just an added bonus to some chips (my modchip doesnt have one, no menus no nothing just straight out plays the back up game).
But if you're going to get ps3 by december than just get the swapmagic it will cost about $20 less
I suggest you wait until the price of ps3 drops a couple more $100 and there are many titles on it before you buy. You don't wanna be the first to buy a defective model just like what some xbox360 owners are experiencing

I currently have a v7 w/DMS4+HDD, however I am unable to play a PAL copy of Silpheed without the skipping. Furthermore, I was trying to patch Manhunt with the pal2ntsc and although there appeared to be nothing wrong, the moment I pressed the x/start buttons, the game would freeze on me. Any ideas, other than getting an NTSC copy? Btw, I've yet to try the ADR patcher, because I don't know where to find it. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

Ok, I've patched my copy of FFX - PAL, and it's burning now. However, I do have one question. I use flip top with Swap Magic, and I was wondering the propper way to boot this game? Do I select the PAL option under video, or NTSC? Or do I just leave it normal? Thanks in advance, this patcher is a big help!

from the faq
Boot a copy of Swap Magic 3. After it loads, eject it. Insert the PAL game. Let it read the new TOC. Select NTSC on screen, then press the SQUARE BUTTON for special boot

Game - Armored Core: Nine Breaker
ELF File - dunno
PAL/NTSC Selector - YES
How to access Selector - After the memory card check screen, select NTSC(60Hz)
Y-Fix Patcher - No need to patch, it has a selector.
Offset - N/A
ADR - No need to patch, it has a selector.
Screen Adjustment in game - No
PD: I've applied the ADR patcher first, 'cause I didn't know it had a selector..so i guess that without applying the patch, the pal/ntsc selector will appear.
Game - Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2
ELF File - dunno
PAL/NTSC Selector - No
How to access Selector - N/A
Y-Fix Patcher - No
Offset - N/A
ADR - Yes
Screen Adjustment in game - Yes
PD: I didn't try it with the Y-Fix, because i applied the ADR first and it worked...the screen is a bit down, but you can adjust it in the options menu..anyway you can't see the full screen, a bit of the lower part of the screen is off sight...perhaps with the Y-Fix you get a better result.

You are absolutely right but I'm asking for a PS3 anyway cuz' as you can see it finally started up and starts to make a real big challenge for Xbox (Warhawk,Tekken 6 and Ratchet Future anyone?)
