shiftee,

Try an offset of 32 or 40.

swap0,

Play the game. If it is displayed in black and white and the screen is rolling, then you will need to patch it.

danijie,

You downloaded the ntsc2pal fix by mistake. What you want is the pal2ntsc fix.

Hey

I posted a reply a bit ago about my ps2 not reading any disks but i think it didnt go trhough so i will go again. well the problem is that whenever i put in a game burnt or non burnt it wont read at all. in the browse part were i can choose between the memory card and the disk(game) it shows that its trying to read the disk but it just keeps going like that. i woould think that maybe the drive needs cleaning with something but im not sure whawt to do so can u please help me

nrk4594, I think I explained myself wrong in that first message. After a year in Sweden, my english is not so good. What I meant was I bought a PAL version of Resident Evil Survivor 2, got the ISO on my computer, patched it with the PAL to NTSC patcher, and then burned it onto a DVD R. But when I put the DVD R into my PS2, I just get a message saying to insert a playstation or playstation 2 format disc. Is there something else I need to do? Preferably something that doesn't involve modchipping the machine? Thanks in advance for your help.

You wont be able to play copied games without modifying your ps2.

Read the faq for more info.

You can either ship your ps2 away to get modded, or you can buy a console that already has a modchip installed.
I bought a pre-modified console from www.xmodd.com and I recommend their service.

Hey i never got my modded ps2 fixed yet but i was wondering why i cant play ne games online! I cant even set up the online games. its strange though because when i bought my ps2 modded it came with the online pack so i should work right!? and its not the online pack thats broken because i tried it on my non modded ps2.

you can only play original games online, it doesnt matter if your ps2 is modded or not.

Not true. You can patch your backups so you can play them online. For more info:

if you own the modem, you should also own the comfiguration cd. run it and make a config. check it by playing one of the demo games that are included in that cd and after that a config save file will be created in your memory card with the correct configuration for your mothem. Once you do that you are able to play Original Games in your ps2. i really dont know how to patch the backup games to work online but i have heard that you need the original game to extract a id.. so if you need the original game is not so usefull.

recca-cun some ps2's just wont go online. If you didn't mod your ps2 sony would fix it for u for free. Always check every aspect of your ps2 before modding.

P.S. For those of you trying to play imports get a dms3pro or dms4 and save the headache. You can force it to NTSC or pal

recca-kun also u said you cant read disks. You probably need to clean your lens w/ a q-tip and alcohol, if that doesn't work you need to calibrate your lens(do a search on google for "ps2 disk read error fix"). i dont have the time to explain how to do it right now im at work.

- killzone (yfix : 48) boot, but appears the playstation 2 screen and then keep in black screen (i will trying with another yfix configuration, and write about here).
- bmx xxx (yfix : 48) boot, all fine, but keep in PAL format, what can i do????
- call of duty finest hour (yfix:48) the same bmx's game problem.
- the urbz (yfix : 48) boot like killzone, but instead of appears a game screen like a city with building and lights and keep that.

working games:
-pop warrior within (yfix:48) works 100%, 0 inchs of black screen on top, no black band, just like NTSC.
-crash twinsanity (yfix:48) works 100%, no black band on top, but the image is too big to my tv, but centering the screen have no image loss.
-jak3 (yfix:48) same as twinsanity, bu this have the 60hz option in video options.

Try this:

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.

Well, with your patch, Worms Forts (original, PAL) doesn't boot using a vanilla SM 3.2 boot (Special Boot doesn't seem to work well on the V9, and it won't refresh TOCs from the PAL disc, since it seems to double-check and locks SM). Patching a rip doesn't work either.

One thing that seems odd is that using the patcher you supplied, it finds /6/ locations for the Y-Fix patch, probably because of the code involved with the adjusting the screen. I am wondering if the Y-Fix is goofing up the patch, (AR Patcher isn't available from the link anymore) as SM loads partially (which uses a partial Y-Fix), and loads perfectly if I just leave it as PAL when loading using SM 3.2.
