I bought Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (PAL) from England and i live in Canada and the game does not give me an option to choose between 50/60Hz, it tells me to insert a ps2 game from my region. Do i need a mod chip to run it? What do i have to do to get this option? Is there anything i can do to play this game because i'm dieing to play it.
Thanks to anyone who can answer!!!

Hello every 1, i need some serious help here. Actually i downloaded GOD of Wars 2 few days back n it was in NTSC format. It didnt say anywhere abt the format so i assumed that it would be in a PAL format. So i used this program called ps2_pal2ntsc_yfix.exe and patched the .ISO file.I burned n played it on my PS2. It worked but the screen was cut-off from the top. So this means that the original .ISO file was already in NTSC format and after i patched n set the Y-Fix-Offset to 48 the screen couldnt fit properly anymore on TV therez like a 5-6 inches black screen from the bottom. I read some where that this program makes a back-up of the ELF file. I found the ELF file and it had been renamed by the program as "SCUC_974.81.bak" but the original file was named as "SCUC_974.81". I replaced the original file with the backed-up file and removed the ".bak" from it. I burned the game and when tried to play it, it said Not a Valid PS2 Game. I don wanna download this game again n unfortunately didnt make the backup of the original .ISO file. Any help would be highly appreciated!!

Has anyone had any luck with Sonic Gems Collection? I have been trying to track down an NTSC version, but have had no luck. If I could just get the PAL version and change it to NTSC..well, that would be great.

I just got Tomb Raider Anniversary and Tekken 5 in Pal from a guy in Lithuania that thought they would work here in the US, but they don't. After a little research, I found this awesome thread. I see both these games on the list of not tested. What suggestions would you have for a complete newbie to to see if any of these patches work? My system has a mod chip to play Japanese or US, but not PAL and it can play burned and has a built in hard drive, but I bought it that way. I can probably do all the things you have instructions for. What should I try first?

hey i tried to convert a pal game to ntsc too, but when i use swap magic to play it
it works its just very very very slow ,
is it because im using "memorex dvd-r"> and i should use Verbatim or TDK instead? i used the patch to put th "y offset to 48"
and its very slow.any advice to make it work better?

OK, so I followed the directions, loading the DVD Decrypter, then made the ISO image, then applied the patch, then burned the image to DVD and it won't play it. I tried loading the HDAdvance disc, then putting in the burned image and it still just says invalid PS disc. Any thoughts?

I have a rather odd problem. I dont know if it was addressed in this thread already, if it has, just give me a page number.
I use hdl dumb to put games on my hard drive then use a hdloader elf to load them. I recently downloaded Madden 08 PAL. I use the patches yet it seems that the game screen is still too big for my tv screen. Any help?

For Resident Evil 4, do this:
When it loads initially to the first screen you see (without any RE4 save)
Press the buttons in this order: X, down, X
Then down, and X.
It will work fine.

Patching a game using PS2 PAL TO NTSC PATCHER WITH Y-FIX V1.06 BETA
For this guide, I will be using Madden NFL 08 (SLES 548.12)
1)Make an ISO file of the game
a)Install DVD Decrypter.
b)Run DVDDecrypter.exe
b)Select Mode-->Iso-->Read
c)For the Source, choose the dvd drive that has the game in it.
d)For the Destination, select a location to save the ISO file.
e)Select File-->Decrypt. This will now create the ISO for the game.
2)Patch the ISO file
We start out by running ps2_pal2ntsc_yfix.exe. This is the start screen.
Leave the Y-FIX OFFSET to 48 and make sure the MAKE PN SELECTOR is unchecked.
Click Browse and locate the .iso file of the game that you want to patch.
In this example, we are using Madden NFL 08 (SLES 548.12). Locate the .iso file and click open. The image will load into the program.
Now click PATCH FILE. This will patch the .iso file and will create a backup of the elf file (SLES 548.12).
The .iso file is now patched. All you have to do is now burn the .iso file.
PS2 PAL TO NTSC PATCHER WITH Y-FIX V1.06 BETA F.A.Q.
1) What is a Y-Fix and why is it needed?
A Y-Fix shifts the screen up or down. This is done because when a PAL signal is converted to NTSC, the resulting image is moved down. Changing the Y-Fix offset will help the center the image on the screen.
2) Which Y-Fix offset should I choose?
The PAL video signal has more lines of vertical resolution than the NTSC signal does. There is no way of viewing the entire PAL signal. The best you can do is to center the signal. A Y-Fix offset of 48 centers the screen. However, some games will need a screen a little lower or higher, depending on the game. For instance, there might be a game that has an on screen map located on the lower left and portion of the screen that is cut off when a Y-Fix offset of 48 is used. A Higher Y-Fix offset would be beneficial in order to see the map displayed on the screen. The higher the Y-Fix offset, the higher the screen will be.
3) I downloaded a PS2 DVD and it was in a format (.mdf, .gi, .dvd) other than .iso. PAL to NTSC y-fix v1.06 Beta only accepts .iso format for dvd-rom games. How can I patch the game?
Just burn the game to DVD-R. Then, make an .iso from the DVD-R using DVD Decrypter.
4) I downloaded a PS2 DVD and I tried patching with PAL to NTSC y-fix v1.06 Beta, but the game didn?t load. I don?t want to have to re-download the game to get the .iso file again. How do I unpatch, so I can try with ADR Patcher?
When PAL to NTSC y-fix v1.06 Beta patches the .iso, it makes a backup of the elf file (SLES, SCUS, etc?). You can replace the patched elf file with the backup elf file and rebuild the game. Or, just make a copy of the .iso file before patching. That way, if it doesn?t work, you still have the other .iso to patch.
5) Does this work with PS2 games that are DVD9?
Yes. What you have to do is first patch the game to NTSC, then patch it again using Toxic Patcher, so it can be burned to DVD+R DL. However, you will need a modchip that supports DVD+R DL backups, such as the DMS3, DMS4, Matrix, and Crystal modchips.
6) Patching with PAL to NTSC y-fix v1.06 Beta didn?t work. Now what?
You can try one of the other methods, such as the ADR Patcher or video game cheat enhancer codes.
7) What is a PN Selector?
When this is enabled, a screen will pop up before the game loads and you can choose which signal you want to view the game in.
3)Burn the patched ISO file
a)Run DVDDecrypter.exe
b)Select Mode-->Iso-->Write
c)For the Source, locate your patched ISO file. The program patches and overwrites your orignal ISO file. Select your orignal ISO file.
e)For the Destination, select the dvd drive you wish to burn the game.
f)Select your prefered write speed
g)Select File-->Write. This will now burn the game.
For cd-rom games, I suggest using burnatonce.
Using burnatonce 0.99.5 -
http://dl.afterdawn.com/bao0995.exe
Create an ISO File
Select Read/Copy-->Read to Image. Click ok and save as ISO Image File type.
Burn an ISO File
Select File-->Load New Image. Load and burn the ISO Image File. The program patches and overwrites your orignal ISO file. Select your orignal ISO file.
If that patch method doesn't work, try the ADR Patcher. This has no y-fix option, so the screen will be a little off center. You can see if the game has an option in the menu for screen adjustment.
1)Download adr patcher:
2)Run adr_patcher.exe
3)Click browse and select the iso file of the game
4)Select .PS2 PAL -> NTSC PATCH ROUTINE (NO Y POS)
5)Select Begin Search.
6)The program will search for locations to patch the game. When it finishes, patch the file.
7)Burn the patched .iso file
Other F.A.Q.'s
1)How can I tell if the game is PAL?
The game will be displayed in Black and White and the screen will roll around.
2)Can every game be patched?
Most games have been sucessful, but some games wont work.
3)Is there any other alternative if patching is unsucessful?
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 (Thanks ps4me). This:
http://www.modchipstore.com/PS2-Slide-Ca...ombo-16158.html
Also, you could buy a signal converter like this one from chipzone:
4)Can I use cheat enhancer codes to display the game correctly?
[i]Yes. You can use Codeseek made by Pyriel to find out the pal2ntsc code and the y-fix code as well. You can download it here: http://www.codemasters-project.net/porta.../request.php?10 You can find some useful guides on how to hack the codes here:
http://www.codemasters-project.net/porta...p?article.cat.1
5)Can I tell what region the disc is before burning the backup?
[i]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 Daemon Tools to view the files of the game.
Here is an example of what the files will look like. The elf file in this case is named SLES_529.50 which tells us that the game is PAL.
6)Is there a fullproof way of playing PAL games on my NTSC console?
Yes. Buy a multisystem tv. These are tv's that accept more than one signal. I recommend Planet Omni for a great selection of multisystem tv's.
I would recommend a tv like this.
It accepts the PAL and NTSC signals.
The plug for these tv's wont fit into an american electical outlet. So you will need to buy an adapter like this one:
http://www.bombayelectronics.com/Transformers/adapters.html
Look at the first entry - "Plug for USA". This is what it looks like. Just insert the plug of the multisystem tv into the adapter and then you will be able to plug the tv into the american wall socket. As you see it's only $.99. The one I saw at Radio Shack was like $4.99 or something.
Then just hook up the red, white, and yellow video cables from your usa ps2 into the multisystem tv. Select PAL as the video signal when playing PAL games or NTSC when playing NTSC games.
7)Are there any modchips that will automatically convert the signal for me?
Yes. The DMS3, DMS4, Matrix Infinity, and Crystal modchips can automatically convert the signal for you.
does an adr patchet overwrites the ISO file ?

Hello.
I'm a noob in this topic, so I think it's better to ask again.
If I have a multisystem TV do I need to do anything or PS2 will play any game the way it should be? I'm talking about NTSC PS2 + PAL game + multisystem TV. Do I need to do anything to play in color?
Thanks a lot.

I was trying to patch One Piece: Grand Adventure (SLES_541.65) with PS2 Pal to NTSC patcher with Y-Fix and I set the Y-Offset to 64. After I burned the image and booted the disk I got a lot of green columns in the middle of the screen and the rest of the picture is also in more or less correctly colored columns. How do I fix it?
Also, if I buy that signal converter, is the picture gonna be shown normally and Y-centered?

If you can play the Singstar series in black and white keep reading,
this is my solution playing PAL versions of Singstar in a NTSC ps2 ,
DON'T convert them to NTSC just load the Swap Magic disc in PS2, when it loads change in the menu the setting to PAL and the game will load with no prob perfectly in sync lyrics and game lines and video only thing is everything will be in black and white.
