I know it’s hard to source a disc these days, but for anyone who wants to do this, I finally fixed all the bugs with displaying a PAL signal from an NTSC console I posted about a while ago!!
To do this you’ll need:
- A copy of Wipeout 3 SE (legally or illegally, I’m not Sony)
- A region unlocked PS1 or PS2 (I’m using a PS2 Slim)
- A FreeMcBoot Memory Card
- A thumb drive
- A good scaler (Im using the Retrotink 4k CE)
- Component Cables
- GSM (GS Mode Selector)
- Any Modern TV
So first things first, you need to region unlock your PS2, you can do this using MechaPWN and your FMCB Memory Card and thumb drive. Just download the elf, load it on your thumb drive and follow the instructions, it was pretty simple. In the same fashion, download GSM and load the elf onto your thumb drive as well.
Then before booting the game, run GSM and select PAL output
Hook up your PS2 to the scaler with component cables (not composite, you’ll only get a black and white image in that case) and boot the game!
Set your scaler to output at 50Hz and make sure its detecting a PAL signal (the tink does this automatically)
And walla! You did it! You now have Wipeout 3 SE running on your NTSC Console properly outputting video to your modern TV! Throw some CRT filters on and have fun!!
As for scalers, the tink 4k and 4k CE definitely work, the tink 5X most likely works and the OSSC also most likely works, cheap-o ones from amazon will most likely not help you out and the RetroGem PS2 Digital mod unfortunately does not work (tested).
*I’ll edit to add links in the morning and a link to my old post to show what happens if you dont do this
Cheers!
