Alright well, I have a problem, I bought a game from the UK and I'm trying to play it on my NTSC but it didn't work. So I got swap magic, I can load my import on it, but for some odd reason it cuts off a bit of the screen. (Perhaps this is more common then I know)
Now, what should I do to fix this? I looked ont he forums and found a PAL to NTSC fix and tried that, but I think I might have done it wrong.
I put my PS2 game in my CD-rom and I dumped the iso onto my desktop, I think patched it with the fix and tried writing it to a Verbatim blank CD, well more than once. Three times. The CD's are a little dusty because they are old, maybe this is the problem. I'm going to retry tommorow with some brand new Verbatim CD's. But perhaps it's not the CD's.
I use slide tool and swap magic to try and boot it, the same was as I got the original import working (With the cut off screen). I get "Insert Ps2 Disc" or something like that. (I'll verify later, I think its the same message for everyone)
What should I do? What program is the best for writing CD-ROM, not DVD. I'm pretty sure it isn't a DVD game. I've tried "burnatonce" and "Alcohol 120" but they didn't seem to work. Maybe I need cleaner CD's. I don't know.
But a bit of the screen gets cut off if it plays the PAL version in colour, I can't read the text of the characters. It's like 2 inches off the bottom.
EDIT: Can I burn a ps2 backup onto CD-R? I have a Maxell CD-R 700 here.
It's a CD-Rom game, so I could burn it to a CD-R disc right?
I tried to use a NTSC2PAL fix the y-fix one but I can't get my burned games to work, could you help me a little more thoroughly if you aren't busy sometime? Got MSN?

Thought you said you were in an NTSC area? In that case you need the PAL2NTSC patcher, NOT the NTSC2PAL one. No wonder the screen's slipped even further down! You've patched a PAL game to PAL, moving the screen even further away from what it needs to be.
Anyway, these patchers dont always work, they often corrupt the game image.
Yeah I mean't PAL to NTSC, my bad just typed it in wrong. But um, it didn't work with the y-fix perhaps the patch made it not work, I don't know. I have a question though I have an older PS2 game here, (Marvel vs Capcom 2) that I haven't played in like 2 years, it's dusty and has little scratches on it, is it legal to download this as a substitute for a backup? Kind of like metophorically cleaning my CD?
