Backuping Legend of Mana

[Chrono]

Ok, here's the deal, I borrowed my friends burned copy of Legend of Mana (NTSC) and I decided to copy it. Well, I wanted to patch it first so I could play it on my PAL psx ( I live in Sweden) Anyways, I tried three different patches and none worked (the three from megagames), not even on an emulator. I did however manage to burn it directly, still as NTSC and it works on my emulator. I have a Pro Action Replay, which allows me to play it, but in black and white since I don't have an RGB-cable and all messed up since my tv can't handle NTSC =(. I also have a Bootdisk (Importplayer light, burned, so I need the Action Replay to start that up) that usually lets me play NTSC games in full color, but for some reason it won't load LoM! All other games I've tried with it work! Now my question is: Why don't any of the NTSC2PAL patches work and does anyone know of any other patches for LoM? And why won't my bootdisk load LoM and is there any other bootdisk that works better, is so where do I download the iso? I'd be VERY thankful for any help possible.
