Pal4U is a small tool to fix Playstation executables or
ISO/RAW
Playstation CD images from NTSC to PAL and vice versa.
Pal4U generates
very small .P4U files which can be easily redistributed.
This pack contains:
Pal4U 2000 v1.23
PAL4U 2000 is the scanner, that looks for sequences into
binaries and
CD images. This tool DOESN'T MODIFY THE GAME!!! Read the
HOWTO section
to discover Pal4U usage.
P4UPATCH v0.3
P4UPATCH is the patcher. It applies .P4U files to BINs
and EXEs.
Please use version >=v1.22 with P4UPATCH.
How to use Pal4U
This is a quick guide to PAL4U 2000. If you don't
understand these
words, you'd better buy a S3GA MEGADR!VE and play with
cartridges... ok?
;)
Ok, first of all you need the scanner (PAL4U2K.EXE) and
the patcher (P4UPATCH.EXE). You can download them from my
page.
Step 1:
Make an image of the PSX CD you want to patch. My best
choice is CDRWIN, and I ask you to BUY IT because it's a
great and cheap tool.
Select "Extract Disc/Tracks/Sector" (it's the third
icon), write a name
with full path for the "Image filename", set the "RAW"
option and leave
other settings alone. Then click on "Start"... and wait.
Step 2:
We have a CD image now... ok, run PAL4U2K and choose this
image.
Select the patch mode, NTSC to PAL or PAL to NTSC.
Click on "Find SEQs"... the whole CD image is scanned for
sequences.
The performance will greatly depend on your PC setup and
may vary from 1
min to 15 min. You should close all others apps while
scanning
(especially MS-DOS boxes!).
You'll see the byte count, some sector information and a
progress bar.
If the image contains audio sectors, they won't be
scanned. Some info
appears on the box below...
Step 3:
If at least one sequence is found, the P4U Creator pops
up... fill out
ALL FIELDS carefully, and sign the patch with your
name/nickname/home
page! Click on "Create P4U file" for your personal .P4U
file.
Step 4:
Close PAL4U2K and load the patcher, P4UPATCH... choose
the .P4U file
you've just created, choose the CD image file you scanned
before, then
GO FOR PATCH... if all is ok, the patch is applied and
the image is
modified!
Step 5:
Load CDRWIN... and burn back the modified image. Choose
"Record Disk"
(it's the first icon), choose the CD image file, use MAX
2X speed (it's
my opinion... but do whatever you want) and record the
disk.
Step 6:
Test the game... it works? Great? It doesn't work? Sorry
but it
happens... PAL4U2K is not a 100% patcher because it uses
a generic
algorithm... please report your patch, so that it can be
included in the
database on my page.
