pal problems

[BurningRage]

as i just bought a new ff8 game and want to convert it for my psp i also guess i need to convert it from pal to ntsc, as otherwise the screen's staying black :( which converter should i take there? because palladin doesn't seem to be working right (the exe stays open for less than a second...)

You shouldn't have to convert it. 3.10 oe has support for pal games

[BurningRage]

oh...then why does it not work? :(

[weirdelf]

I'm not sure...
This website has a list of converters:

Really!?!?

I just about gave up on popstation due to PAL issues, I had no idea 3.10 oe supported PAL, I havn't upgraded yet because I didn't think there was any real difference between 3.03 oe and 3.10 oe except for the numbers.

So are PAL games centered now?

In the changelog it says that it now has support for pal games. So, yes they work on 3.10 oe

Here's the changelog,


Changes in 3.10 OE-A:

- Change from 3.03 firmware to 3.10

- 4th level of brightness (aka battery eater) can now be selected also without ac adaptor.

- Changes in hen core:

* Static user elf's can now be executed in the 3.10 kernel. (this includes snes user version
between other programs)

* Tyranid's patch (added in 3.03 OE-C) consequences was not explained very well in the changelog of 3.03 OE-C:

- For programmers: it allows kernel modules to have user imports, making kernel programming
in 3.03/3.10 less strict.

- For users: plugins and applications that worked in 2.71 SE, but not in OE, *may* now work in 3.03OE-C
and 3.10 OE-A.


Am I looking in the wrong place because I can't see anything about PAL, I'm still downloading the 3.10 update so I guess I'll find out for myself soon.

Awsome!!, thanks for the link :)

[BurningRage]

well, my problem is that the screen stays totally black after the ps1 logo. the PAL problem should cause it to just be a bit misplaced if i'm not mistaken. so what have i done wrong?

[weirdelf]

What program have you used to rip the discs?

[steve-b]

black screen after ps1 logo = bad iso or no support for the game within the firmware. Some games just don't work.

i tried ripping with clone cd and alcohol 120%.
i don't think it's because of the games as i'm having problems with all the final fantasy parts :(
