Pal-> NTSC Patches won't work, help.

[sprintersteve]

Okay im trying to patch a pal->NTSC version of BREATH OF FIRE 4 and well Ive tried all the patches at megagames and ive also tried PAL4U but for some reason IT WONT PATCH! I run EPSXE v152 to see what it says is loaded in the MSDOS window. It keeps saying PAL CDROM loaded! So matter what I do, patch wise, it keeps saying it is PAL in EPSXE. It's in color and everything in EPSXE but on PSX its black/white and it flickers. I dont know if im doing something wrong or not.
THanks,
