Oh, my... The wrong words. Sorry of.

No, but in the past i´ve noticed many ps2 sites are down and no mirrors...
I.e, i love modding. So many mod installation pix are lost. -> Modding is art!

The logo / license "aka as the first 12 sectors" is currupt on my unmodified image anyway checked the hash at redump.org and it doesn't match either

I don´t think it´s corrupted.
It seems the modulio is not correct.

It seems you've used the wrong extraction-method and used PAL (while it is an NTSC-Image), or vice versa.

I extracted myself using winhex and converted it using misfire's app, it loads without red screening in pcsx2

Here's how it looks viewed as NTSC

I have a valid PAL.RAW from another disc but I don't know of anyway to to encrypt it back intto a PAL.enc, I suppose i'll just have copy / paste the sectors from a valid disc.

Another PCSX2 oddity is that it shows Japanese for the D-Pad and X,O,Square,Triangle text at the Basic Operations screen whilst in KERMIT it displays as English.

I think this is to do with PCSX2s BIOS detection. It detects all newer NTSC BIOS revisions as NTSC-J, which changes a few minor things, for example reversing the function of the X and O buttons in the Browser. It's highly likely that any utility that is affected by the reported BIOS region will show similar behaviour.

It's more related with the fact that all newer bios versions are GENERIC and what defines the console region is an authentication it does with the MECHANICS CONTROLLER during boot...
