Black screen on the start of game...

[Blazzx]

I just instaled FMCB and I downloaded COD 3 patch it with ESR.
When I start game I get just black screen.
What can I do?
Is there a problem with game?

First of all, downloaded games / warez are not supported over here... only backed up games that you own yourself.

What kind of disc did you use and at what speed did you burn ?

Why downloaded games aren't supported?
And I use maxel with nero with 16x speed.

First line in the site rules / FAQ, http://psx-scene.com/forums/faq.php

ABSOLUTELY NO WAREZ: Our no warez policy is strictly enforced. DO NOT attach or post direct links to warez on this forum. Doing so will result in a permanent ban. This includes, but it not limited to, games sold on pressed retail discs or ROM files ripped from proprietary cartridges.

So there is no support given to anyone asking where to get games or how to get them working etc etc



DVD-R discs are best with Verbatim being the best disc for PS2 use, also try burning your backup around 4x

I have NTSC game iso and what I have to do so will be playble on my PAL PS2 with FMCB 1.8?

Depends on your tv, I have a Philips Matchline 100 Hz, so I can (if I like) play all games from over the world without the need to patch the games from NTSC to PAL (PAL needs 50 Hz to run smooth, NTSC needs 60 Hz) first. So I have no problem with the games I have from outside my region.

"Modern" tv's should have enough Hz nowdays

Do I need to patch the game with ESR to run?

[EvilGamer]

If you want to play the burned backup through FMCB / ESR, then yes... you have to patch the disc with ESR

That's not really true. It's not a matter of the maximum refresh rate that the TV supports - but it depends on the video standards that the TV supports.

If you visited Wikipedia, PAL and NTSC do not only have a difference between refresh rates. The frequency at which the colour signal is encoded in is also different.

The number of horizonal lines is also different (NTSC has 525 lines, PAL has more lines), and hence the settings for technical things like the number of active lines will be different too.

So, if your TV cannot display NTSC, it will probably either not display anything at all or it will display video without colour. The reverse should be true as well.

My TV supports PAL and NSTC.
So I just burn iso and will work?
