Thread: fmcb and ntsc pal to be sure

Hi
I googled a little but just want to be sure .I had a ps2 chipmod and a lot of games.But it's broken.Now i can get a ps2 with swapmagic.I have free mcboot on a memory card can i play my games.There not patched.Most are ntsc and it's a pal machine.Maybe a simple question but the ps2 is a lot of money for me
Thanks
Marc

I play NTSC games on my PAL console no problem, the problem you will have is that to work with free mcboot and ESR which is used to boot the games they have to be patched with the ESR patcher, so i think you would have to rip and patch all your games.

Thanks
Already patching 75 games :-)

Not to mention that before you patch your games with ESR Patcher, you need to region patch your games first from NTSC to PAL!

The ntsc just work fine :-) no problems with my tv

Just keep in mind that not all games work that way!

Your right :-) Have SwapMagic .But i tried to make a copy of it and use ESR to patch it.SwapMagic starts and the dvd stops spinning.Then i put a copy in the PS2 it starts but after a few seconds theres a pink screen.Putting it on the MC doesn't work.After the FMCB screen it doesn't recognise a disk even if i go to ESR.Maybe because the censors are blocked ?.Als tried a patched uLaunchELF on dvd.Then loading the SwapMagic.elf from a usb stick with no luck.Als tried that other swap program.Don't know the name any more.but so far still no luck :- )

If you already have FMCB installed, then there is no need for SwapMagic because with FMCB you don't have to swap discs! :D

Thats tue :-) But i have 3 games that don't work with ESR and my swapmagic disk isn't that good anymore.It works but it looks almost like add to trash can.Don't want to buy a new copy because it's my second ps2 this month for me it's a lot of money
Cheers

Which three games? If they are CD based PS2 games, then you need to convert them to DVD based PS2 games. Also, double check the compatibility list as well and see if those games are on there.
