V1.03 BETA - 23 February, 2004
Coding by JayteeMaster
Hello, PS2 users:
I write this program to allow you to play your PAL games
in color and with the screen centered!
Some programs, like ADR patcher, already allowed you to patch
your game from PAL from NTSC. But the screen was not centered!
Most of the times you had to search for a specific patch.
No any more, I hope!
But if you find one like from ps2chimps i recommend you to use it instead.
Some PAL games have already built in screen centering. If you know
this is advance you may skip this pacther and use instead the ADR patcher for co
nverting only from PAL to NTSC. But remember that
sometimes the maximum screen offset is to small for you to shift up the picture.
So you might enjoy to use this patcher.
The patching engine is based on my PS2 NTSC TO PAL VIDEO MODE CHANGER WITH Y-FIX
which
has a very high successful patching rate.
Support ISO and BIN CD/DVD PS2 images and single ELF files as well.
!!!!!!!! NEW: Now you have the option to build a P/N Selector !!!!!!!!!
Attention:
Case 1) This program will modify the ELF file.
BACKUP THE ELF FILE FIRST, PLEASE.
Case 2) For CD/DVD PS2 images the ELF file is backuped automatically.
USAGE:
Click on 'Browse' and then choose an ELF file or a CD/DVD PS2 image.
Select the amount of offset to shift the screen up.
Check the 'MAKE PN SELECTOR' Box for building a P/N selector. Otherwise,
uncheck it.
Click on 'Patch File' and read the text output.
The program will first try to change the video mode from
It will indicate you if found any locations to patch, if
already patched and the number of locations to patch.
Then it will try to patch the screen Y position. It will
can not find any patch locations or if can not patch the

PAL to NTSC.
the ELF is
indicate you if
locations found.

If you checked the 'MAKE PN SELECTOR' box the program will try to build a P/N se
lector for you.
In this situation, when loading the game in your PS2 you have the option to choo
se between
NTSC with Y-FIX, NTSC or PAL video mode. A preview of the selector screen is inc
luded in the zip.
NEW: the selector includes 3 boot modes. If the game does not boot you may try o
ne of the others by pressing the triangle button in the pad. PLEASE DO NOT ASK M
E WHAT EACH MODE DOES EXACTLY BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW THE DETAILS. The Iop Reboot
0 does nothing but Iop Reboot 1 and 2 reboots the IOP. If the game does not boot

with the default just try the others and report.

IF YOUR ELF FILE IS RELEASED BY PARADOX OR KALISTO THIS PROGRAM MAY HAVE NO EFEC
T! - usually those games have a intro screen or a P/N selector (The original ga
me code usually is compressed) - if not, they probably are not compressed.
BUT DO NOT WORRY! THE PROGRAM AUTODETECTS COMPRESSED ELF FILES.
Please report any bugs or suggestions to jayteemaster2003@yahoo.com.br
Also, I would appreciate if you send me some fast FTPs with PS2 rips.

Enjoy your games,

JayteeMaster.
