Paladin v1.0: Convert your PALs to POPS

Coldbird has just released a new application to help you get the most out of playing PSX games on your PSP using the firmware PSX emulator. And this ain’t another Popstation GUI.

Paladin is an application that will convert PSX games from PAL to NTSC format. According to Coldbird, in most cases it works a lot better than the popular PAL to NTSC converter, Zapper2000. Those who have known developer-speak from an early age might want to know that this is because Paladin modifies the VModes rather than the YPos Values.

Coldbird would like to know which games work and which ones don’t. So do drop him a word via the comments area or the forums release thread. Here’s a few final words from Coldbrid:

If you still experience a Screen Displacement after patching with Paladin, apply a YPos Move to 0/0 with Zapper.Keep in Mind thought that its highly suggested not to use Zapper or any other Patching Tool if its possible… only move the Coordinates to 0/0 with Zapper if needed.

Just drag the file you want to be converted from PAL to NTSC over the “paladin.exe” file and it will do everything for you, no expert knowledge necessary! However, if you do have expert knowledge and would like to have a go at improving this application, then Coldbird has included the source code for you to take a peek at.
