Greetings!
I am having an issue playing several NTSC PSX titles on my PAL PSX.
Those titles include:
Vandal Hearts 2 (USA) - freezing at Konami logo
WipEout 3 (USA) - freezes near start of race
Legacy of Kain - Soul Reaver (USA) - complex to describe.
From what I understand, those games in particular "force check" the region of the console and there's no easy work-around.
I looked around and managed to get a fix for Vandal Hearts 2:
The game needed to be patched to work.
I went here: https://consolecopyworld.com/psx/psx_patches_v.shtml
And downloaded: Vandal Hearts II: Heaven's Gate FINAL Protection & PAL Fix
Then I patched it using ppf-o-matic3
It worked after that. I believe it worked because of the "PAL Fix" part of the patch.
But, looking on the rest of consolecopyword, I see it doesn't contain PAL Fix patches for the other games that I am having issues with.
Is there a way I can make PAL Fix patches for the NTSC games giving me problems on my PSX?
(And no, I don't think what I need is a NTSC/PAL switcher, that is something different.)
consolecopyword might have what I need but I'm not too sure which one of the programs is right.
Thanks in advance! :)
