Hello,

Is it possible to boot a NTSC game on a PAL PlayStation 2 using FMCB/ESR?

Thanks,

Keredin.

Yes, it is. But only if it is ESR-Backuped.
Original imports do not work.

Keep in mind, that they can be played of course, but the Video-Mode wouldn´t change ...so NTSC-Games still put NTSC out, & PAL-Games do PAL.
So make sure, your equipment supports both Video-Signals.

You can always use one of lot of programs to change the video-mode from PAL to NTSC. Here you have one of them:

Thanks, my TV supports PAL as well as NTSC.

If I were to use this patch, would I patch my .iso first with this and THEN ESR patcher?

yes, best to use ESR patcher last.
