PS2: slimline /w crystal chip v 1.1

Screen: Toshiba 27AF43 ( canada )

Flat Screen, 27 inch Display, 4:3 Aspect Ratio,
NTSC, 480i (SDTV), Digital 3-Line Comb Filter,
Speaker Power: 2 x 5 Watt

Im trying to run a PAL ps2 backup game on my NTSC TV as described above.

Whenever i run the game under these settings, the follwing happens;

1st Setting:

NTSC software video fixes; OFF


Pal software video fixes: ON
Force video mode: NTSC
Force Color: NTSC
Screen position modifiers: ON
Screen X modifier: -20
Screen Y modifier: -50

Result:

The game loads fine however #A. the TV screen keeps rolling.


2nd Setting:

NTSC software video fixes; OFF

Pal software video fixes: ON
Force video mode: PAL
Force Color: NTSC
Screen position modifiers: ON
Screen X modifier: -20
Screen Y modifier: -50


Results:

When i force PAL video mode the game loads fine without any screen rolling except that the pre-mission and post mission game movie cut-scenes keep crashing and the game moves on to the mission briefing...


I tested the " 1st setting " (Force video mode: NTSC) on my friends much older TV and the game loads perfect with no screen rolling or movie cut-scenes crashes.

Im trying to find out if there is any way to play my game without screen rolling movie cut scenes crashing.

Thanks for looking.

"download the NTSC version instead"

I can't find the NTSC version.

Are there any other solutions ? Should i try PAL-->NTSC Patch ?
which patch do you recommend ?

Will a signal converter work?


"mmmmmmmmmm buy a new tv"

I can't do that right now.

Ace Combat 4: distant thunder ( the NTSC version is called shattered skies )

I also have a game movie audio/video out of sync when playing Ace combat 5 PAL.

Thanks.

whiteline,

You can use cheat codes. I hacked them myself and I can confirm they work.

The Godfather (sles 539.67)

Codebreaker v1-9 or Gameshark/Xploder v3-4

(M)
F0110008 0000000E

PAL2NTSC

Also, always check this thread for playing PAL games on an NTSC console.

Hi,

I guess these are my options;


Use a PAl2NTSC Patch.

Get a PAL2NTSC signal converter.

Use a cheat enhancer code. ( where can i find instructions ? )

Buy a multisystem TV.

Edit;

How does this signal converter work and where do i hook this up on my tv ? what is a tv vertical hold ?

Thanks for the great guide.
