Message: [QUOTE="CobOnTheCorn, post: 350421, member: 871046"] This is probably an extremely unconventional way to try and play a game, but I want to exhaust all my resources before I call it quits. Time Crisis 3, among a few other PS2 Guncon 2 games, had backwards compatibility with the original PS1 Guncon, but this was made an exclusive feature for PAL territories. I can't recall if it's for every guncon game released in europe, but I know Ninja Assault was another instance of a Guncon 2 only game in the NTSC release having Guncon 1 support on the PAL release. Ideally, it would be nice if it was just a copy and past of those options and place them in the NTSC releases, but I know this stuff ain't that simple. Closest I've gotten of being able to play TC3's PAL release has been through OPL and forcing it to run in NTSC. Mission accomplished right? I wouldn't be here if that were the case. Be it conversion programs or the settings within OPL, I cannot for the life of me find out how to reduce the vertical stretch applied to the PAL release. I've only been able to mitigate it by patching the ISO or using OPL to slightly center the screen. It's *soooo* close to being perfect, it's relatively playable, but the cropping to the top and bottom half of the screen removing either the weapon selection or health bar annoys me ever so greatly. It saddens me because the game plays great with a Guncon 1 and I forgot how much I enjoy Time Crisis 3 since the NTSC release demands you buy the Guncon 2 and while I see myself eventually owning one, I'd like to mitigate dropping cash just to play a game I'm so close to being able to play perfectly. I guess I'm here to ask, where would I start to look into trying to modifying the game to fix the vertical screen stretch? Is it even possible? Are there any current programs I may have overlooked? I've tried Adrenaline patcher and V-Fix to no avail. They made the ISO's natively compatible with my PS2 without applying additional changes to the OPL settings, but the issue still persists. Any help or information is welcomed. I'm a noob to this sort of thing, but I love light gun games so any method to try and get TC3's to be playable on my current setup would be nice. [/QUOTE]
