Problems converting PAL to NTSC
 

Just a while back I ordered the PS-X-Change v2 so that I could play imported games. I have several PAL mode games such as Breath of Fire 4. I have made several attempts to patch these games so that they will appear in color instead of black and white. I have tried the ppf patchers, the PAL4U program, and several others. However, none of them work. I have been using EPSXE to check and see if the games are changing format. I even burned one and tried it with the PS-X-Change to see if it was ok. However, nothing I try seems to work. Could someone please help me? Is there an easy way to patch a game or make my own patch so that it will change from PAL to NTSC? By the way I have been using CDRWin to make the disk images before passing, and I have been using RAW data mode. Is there any other way to get around this black and white problem without patching or buying PAL mode everything? Thanks.

Have a look at the megagames site for correct patching tutorial

There is also a tutorial for creating your own ntsc-pal patches

Hope that this is of some help, post back to let us know how you got on.

Didn't Work
 

I tried going through all the steps to make my own patch since I didn't see one in the megagames data base. It did not work on the particular game that I tried. Thanks for the help though. I may try some of the other PAL mode games that I have and see if I can get any of them to work. Thanks again.

there are lots of other sites with patches, I will post some links later tonight, or if others want to post their links it would be helpful.

Thanks. That would be a great help being that the only to patch sites I've come across so far are megagames and ngemu. By the way, after I patch a game from PAL to NTSC, should EPSXE detect it as NTSC instead of PAL? Thanks again.

Got it Working
 

Thanks for all the help. I got it working. I made a dumb mistake. I forgot to edit my cue sheets so they would burn the patched file instead of the orignal. It made me say "doh". Anyway thanks for all the help.

glad you realised your mistake and got it working.
