Now, I know its not exactly news, but I know I've bugged members here about the whole conversion issue, and I've always been told to patch the game or get a better modchip. I've hated the thought of my originals going to waste, plus I worry of the PSone's laser going out using CD-Rs. Anyways, I found this site: http://www.geocities.com/first_wizard_zorrander/ntsc2pal.html which speaks of a program called "Palpar." This program analyzes an bin file and creates AR/Gameshark codes that will change the video signal without patching and/or making a backup copy. So far, I've tried it with Earthworm Jim 2 and Megaman Battle and Chase. EWJ2 worked perfectly, color and picture placement dead center. MMB&C, however, had the screen lowered a bit, but the color and speed were dead-on (it might be worth noting that I had the same effect when I used the PAL2NTSC patch). Hopefully, this method is able to help someone else out there without all the trouble and mess of patching and creating backups. If you want to play around with my codes: Earthworm Jim 2: D0019EC8 0001 80019EC8 0000 D005C668 0001 8005C668 0000 D00552A8 0001 800552A8 0000 D00B02D4 0001 800B02D4 0000 D005CC60 0001 8005CC60 0000 D005CCB8 0001 8005CCB8 0000 D005CDB4 0001 8005CDB4 0000 D00AE520 0001 800AE520 0000 D0089F1C 0001 80089F1C 0000 D0055D10 0001 80055D10 0000 D00775BC 0001 800775BC 0000 D009AB58 0001 8009AB58 0000 D0087BC8 0001 80087BC8 0000 D0087864 0001 80087864 0000 D0055960 0001 80055960 0000 D0058B38 0001 80058B38 0000 D0087020 0001 80087020 0000 D008B1A0 0001 8008B1A0 0000 D004F830 0001 8004F830 0000 Megaman Battle & Chase D0039168 0001 80039168 0000 D00B98B0 0001 800B98B0 0000
Yeah I remember this great app, I used it a lot but the generated code just switched from PAL>NTSC, you needed a different code for the screen alignment. I got a screen alignment code for a few games but I dont remember how I generated them but these were really hit & miss, about 50% chance of working, the PAL-NTSC ones always worked though EDIT I think I got the codes from a similar app called Yfixer ou vfixer, something like that
