Is there anyway to fix this?

**Hiro1746** · 01-14-2012,05:24 PM

i've tried googling everything possible and I've only come up with that it occurs when you are using games from a different region apparently? I couldn't find any fixes and I've tried changing the resolution on my TV and tried using another SDTV and I get the same problem.
I'm booting with Swap Magic 3.8 on a sony DVD-r disc burned at 2x.
The game is Kingdom Hearts 2 Final mix with an english patch.
I've tried reburning the game and patching it and loading it with ESR but it doesn't even boot up when I do that, so this seems to be my only option.
I really just want to play the game like it's intended and this amount of screen cutoff makes it pretty much unplayable.
Also sorry if wrong board, I didn't know where else to put it.

If your tv doesn't suppport 576 (PAL) then you're out of luck. Get the NTSC/US version and you won't have a problem. Can't give you a link but there's a haven out there that has it. Best hint I can give you

It's Japanese release only game, and I thought you only had to patch PAL games, not NTSC games(Being this game is NTSC-j)?

Sorry, I didn't catch it was the Final Mix version. Getting lazy and just glancing at stuff I guess. I thought you were using a european version. Your tv doesn't look that old - there's no setting on your tv to adjust the horizontal/vertical display size?

Edit: did you try changing from widescreen to fullscreen on your tv?

It's alright ahah.
And yes I did, didn't work. It looks exactly the same on all full, widescreen, and cinema modes.
If it was an ISO error it wouldn't boot at all, correct? Because I'm not sure if I should just try getting another one or not.

The problem isn't with the game, it's with your tv. I get the same thing when launching some stuff on my PS3. What brand/model tv is it?

Hm. I've tried it on three tv's so far, and nothing. Same problem.
I've tried it on two Sylvannia HDTV's and a Toshiba SDTV.
My tv and the one posted is a 720p Sylvannia HDTV.
Also, would having PS2 component cables make a difference?

It's possible about the cables, but I think your problem from your pics is you have widescreen tv's. I don't have that game, but it probably doesn't support widescreen. Those tvs weren't that common when it came out. You would have to switch your tv to standard/full screen if you don't have a way to set the actual screen size through your tv menu

just to let you know that that will not work in gummy missions unless you are using the most recent revision of OPL you will only get a black screen for it and lockup
