[patrikmuse]

Ok, now i show you how we can make pal game go on psp ps1 emulator :)

- Download the pacage i have attached

- make a iso of your pal game

- open pal4u2k.exe, select the iso, select "pal to ntsc" and click "find seqs"

- the program have generated one patch .p4u

- now patch the iso whit the program p4upatch.exe

The graphic is ok, Now we have to change the screen position...

-open zapper4k.exe, select pal to ntsc and select the iso

- after the scan has completed save the pach generated and apply it on iso...

Convert the iso with alex tool and enjoy :)

[Steve-O 2006]

nice will try this.. I have 100+ Pal games and dont want to have to obtain NTSC versions :p

Thanks

[Ammar]

Wow this actually fixed my PAL version of crash bash, works perfectly, no more clipping issues either. Thanks. By the way the patcher you gave is outdated. There is 3b now. Is zapper the best for screen correction? or is there another program you know of which is equally good if not better?

[ichich56]

The Problem is. These patchers dont work with any gam. One of these is GT2.

[jigsaw]

ff9 disc 1 pal (german) ends in black screen before patching and with patch also

anyone got a french or spain version to run?

[PSP_NDS_Dude]

Thanks

I`ll hope i can get FFVII working from my Original PS1 CD`s

[hitman.be]

i try it, but after the sony psx logo it only comes a black screen.

game: FF8 pal

I had the same problem, but this is how i got it working:

first download Final Fantasy 8 Protection Fix here:
http://www.megagames.com/console/cgi-bin/dl.cgi?id=psx&file=univff8!zip
Should be pretty easy to use.
Then use zapper2k tool as discribed above.

Should work! (may take some time to load after psx logo)

[madMax2]

and it is good
although I still notice some glitch lines across the game sometimes
also the game locks up immediately when u enter the police station.
I tested it twice and same thing.

[taffster]

thanks, going to give your tools a try. Converted Silent Bomber PAL yesterday and although the game worked the borders were all over the place.

[patrikmuse]

Hispanico e existenz70 provate a usare alcohol 120 per fare l'immagine, a me è andato perfetto....
@ hispanico: i tuoi pacchetti di devhook erano spettacolari :)


To make the iso it's better to use alcohol 120%

[Xenogears V]

How do apply .zap file?

My girlfriend is running the german version right now.
You need the protection fix for FF IX. Use google and search for it.

This is a problem for pal and ntsc games it is a bug in the pops.prx and at the moment cannot be fixed.

I used this method to patch my pal games and it worked fine with everything so far but I had had a slight problem moving the position of the screen, I converted kula world it had a black border at the top of the screen and some of the bottom of the screen was missing. This was with the y setting at zero so I tried editing this with a minus number a couple of times but that just resulted in a black screen.

Any one have any ideas how I can move the screen up a little further?

I have the exact same problem with Kula World but from what I understand there is no way to apply a negative value at all. This would need a fix on the pops.prx I guess.

Thanks for the info.
How did u know about the pops.prx and all that stuff.
So this prx is the emulator of psx??

Also how do u use the zapper position to fix the metal gear solid game so it don't cut the subtitle down the bottom?

So u have all your games in pal too?
Kind of **** we need to re download ntsc games when I already have a pal collection huh?

Same here :(

Anyone found a solution ?

actually the ntsc version also has (small) borders, above and below.. added together a bit less than pal but still not fullscreen

[dhyta23]

After I convert the iso/bin do I use US Game ID and Title or Pal? The POP GUI gives out Pal ID with the converted file. And when using the CMD do I use the FULL name:

Final Fantasy VII [Disc1of3] [Original & Platinum]

plus which compression am I looking at using?

Any help appreciated

Hmm lotta questions up there ^^^^ hope I can get some wise help :)

[Fuchs]

It does not work for me... :(
On the Top ist a black border!

[madMax2]

any1 know how to adjust screen with zapper..
tutorial plz, a detailed one for moving y-position


zapper still makes game have a black bar at the top

[FOL]

You cant, best you can get is 0 , 0, and that gives all screen bar a little at bottom and gap at top. Just wait, the pal4u creator has said he is picking up development of it, due to the PSX games on PSP. He also sayd it will have perfect convertion from PAL to NTSC, so perfect centering.

[KAGRAN22]

You could also check if your Game is in this List and try the fix
http://www.megagames.com/psx/psx_patches.shtml
It gives you maybe a better result

[JordanBlack68]

worked perfect for me, tested a few, magic, mind to follow each instruction well
