ADRenaline patcher

[armygreen11]

I need to patch PAL to NTSC, and from what I've read, this is what to get, but the only place that I've found that had it was psxforums and their link just links back to the thread and not the file. Anybody have another source?

[armygreen11]

Nevermind. Found it on the mule. Can I post a hash? I don't think it's illegal.

[TylerDurden]

Here is the patcher by itself. It's been split into 2 parts that have to be UNZIPPED then UNRARED.



Tyler!

[armygreen11]

Even better! Awesome! Thnx Tyler!

FYI, what you just posted is ADRv0.4b. What I found was v0.5b. Also, your file doesn't have the patch info files that go with it. I can send you the ZIP that I have with all the patch info if you want to put that up too. I tried attaching the NFO, but it's too big, so here's a cut and paste. I just patched GTA3 Vice City, and I'm going to try it out as soon as the little one stops watching cartoons.

General Information
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Right, this little search and replace HEX program has once again been updated. It is
still mainly aimed at PlayStation 2 owners although there is a little routine included
for XBOX owners.

What can it do?

1) Fixes the majority of (currently) available PS2 EA 'boot method' games in order to
boot using the normal single swap boot method if using NEO 2 / 2.2 / NEO Key & SBOX
(USB) mod chip or direct boot on NEO 4 / Euro Chip mod chips.

You don't need any EA Fix patch if you are using a Messiah / Magic2 mod chip.

2) Attempts to convert the Video mode on PlayStation 2 from PAL -> NTSC (NO Y POSITION)
* 95% success rate *

3) Attempts to convert the Video mode on PlayStation 2 from NTSC -> PAL (NO Y POSITION)
* Newly added, report results on ADR Forums *

4) Fixes the Default.xbe file from retail XBOX games for those people wishing to back-up
their games and be able to boot them using a Enigmah-X or X-Tender 1.0 beta mod chip.



If you have any feedback or questions regards the new ADR Patcher, please post publicly
on the ADR Forums, you will not receive a reply to any e-mail or PM from now on.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Usage
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please extract all files contained within this zip to your hard drive and run the
'adrcheck.exe'. If all files pass verification, make sure the 'Patch.Data' file is
located in the same directory as the ADR Patcher 0.5 program and then run the Patcher
program. The 'Patch.Data' file will automatically load up the 22 patches ready for use.

If you are given the 'could not find patch information file' message, click OK to
proceed and use the 'LOAD PATCHES' button to browse your system for a valid '*.Data'
file - NOTE: the patch file does not have to be called 'Patch.Data' that is just the
default name used by the ADR Patcher 0.5.


USING CDR WIN (EDC / ECC Regeneration Required)

Follow these simple steps:

1) RUN CDR WIN - Extract Disc (using RAW read)
2) RUN ADR PATCHER
3) BROWSE - Select Image File (*.BIN)
4) PATCH - Select the routine you'd like to use (GENERIC is default)
5) BEGIN SEARCH - Search the image file for patch location
6) OK TO PATCH? - Select 'YES' to proceed (EDC will automatically be fixed)
7) USE CDR WIN - Record Disc

Yeah I know I left out the patch file. That way all you have to do is download the patchfile for whatever your doing. I already posted the pal2ntsc patchfile in the UIS and also linked to this thread to get the ADR patcher.

Also had to edit the nfo where it links to release group sites.

It worked for GTA3-VC, but it only changed the framerate from 25 to 29.97 but not the res. so the screen was a little streched with the bottom off the screen a bit. Good enough to take out some aggressions on some pedestrians though. :)
