Am I just screwed?

[Shinobi]

Well unfortunate me. I've got Halflife (PAL) and of course my ps2 can only read NTSC. And so trying to find a patch seems impossible since I'm only getting a NTSC to PAL convert. Am I blind or just screwed?

(I already wasted a CD btw trying to see if by some miracle it does read it, but instead it just flickers, still works, just that it's messed up on the screen)

Thanks in advance and apologies if I'm breaking any rules. I am not asking for anything, I'm wondering if there is one out there.
