This is exactly what I'm after -- I have 56k, so it'll take me a while to actually get it and test it, but I'll let you guys know if this succesfully allows me to play NTSC patches on my copy of Halo

This is realy cool, now I can try out all the ntsc mods for blood gulch. Are you going to covertsome more cos that would realy make my day, silent cartographer would be nice as I could try out some of the awsum mods for that.
But any levels cool, I hope you guys do, do somemore. Also to thoughs who have had problems I have tryed this and it workes perfectly, mabey its you ppf tool or your using the cash files instead of the ones of the disk.

MOOREEEEE PLEEASEEE!

I was a little confused by doing this, nothing turned out right, but then i saw the light!
Althought you posted a tutorial, it wasen't simple enough for me.

I can thank PALMAN for helpping me out, he sure is a great guy!
This was what he PM me:

ok, there's a tut here:

http://www.halo-scene.com/article.php?23.0

THis is the way: Put the halo disc in your box, FTP your Bloodgulch.map and the ui.map (D:\maps) and the and the default.xbe (D:\) to your pc.

THen, ppf patch the Bloodgulch.map with the huge bg ppf from
http://www.haloskins.com/download.php?view.35

and then patch that file again with the "PAL-BG-pal_2_ntsc_bloogulch_FIX-d3fault_dot_xbe_and_Richie178.zip" from:
http://files.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=69

(notice that you must patch the same file as the last one, not a new Bloodgulch.map!)

Then ppf patch the UI.map with the "PAL-UI-pal_2_ntsc_ui.map-richie178_and_d3fault.xbe.zip" from:
http://files.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=69

Then patch the default.xbe with the "PAL-default.xbe-pal_2_ntsc_default.xbe-richie178_and_d3fault_dot_xbe.zip"
from http://files.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=69

Now, using FTP, make a folder in your Xbox hdd that's called: F:\games\HaloNTSC, now copy the contents of your PAL Halo disc (D:\) to that directory. Now replace the UI.map, Bloodgulch.map, and default.xbe with the ones on your pc (the ones that you patched)

Start it up, go and play bloodgulch (notice it will say Dirty disc when you select another map) and reboot your box, now ftp on your box and go to the cache files (X, Y or Z) and download Cache003.map to your pc, patch it with whatever NTSC mod you like, upload it and overwrite the old cache003.map. Now boot up the NTSC Halo and start playing!

It might be difficult to see if you started the NTSC halo or the PAL halo, so i recommend to delete the Game demo folder from your HaloNTSC, this way it will not show up when your in the game menu. The HaloNTSC will never play any music in the little Bungie movie when you start halo.

I use HCE for applying both NTSC and PAL patches, it works great!
I would be good if we could mod other maps than BG too:)

Mr_Mann35 · Post by **Mr_Mann35** » Thu Apr 29, 2004 5:59 am

U cant get the patches to work if u are patching an xbe/ui that has been modified (ie if u have a halo trainer active)
This patch RoXoRs, means i dont have to play sh***y PAL mods ne more. Hope mods for other maps will be released soon

master_chief77 · Post by **master_chief77** » Wed May 12, 2004 3:00 pm

Gave this a try but every time I try to run it my xbox reboots.
Any idea where I went wrong?
I left out all the single player maps & the demos when I put it all on my HD & I also have PAL Halo on my HD.
Any help would be appreciated!

PALMAN · Post by **PALMAN** » Sun May 16, 2004 3:27 am

maybe you deleted your UI.map?

Thanks for posting the tut 117, I did'nt save it so i couldn't post it.

Anywayz this works for me, I haven't seen the Pal section for months
See you in the Ntsc section!

PALMAN!

master_chief77 · Post by **master_chief77** » Sun May 16, 2004 1:46 pm

I tried again-this time putting the ntsc patches on & writing them onto the pal halo already on my HD, which only has the demos folder missing.
Exact same problem.
Is there part of the tutorial missing?
Is there something else I need to change?
PAL halo sucks ass for modding, so if anyone wants to sell me an ntsc copy,I'd be open to it!!

Are you patching the cache files or the compressed files?

Also you can legally download the NTSC version of Halo if you own the PAL version becasue you have already bought the game (I think).

master_chief77 · Post by **master_chief77** » Tue May 18, 2004 7:41 am

I patched the compressed files like it said in the tutorial-and I can't download it cos I only have dial up!!
Argh!

HPMT-Sonny · Post by **HPMT-Sonny** » Tue May 18, 2004 8:17 am

wel it think every1 should stick to PAL, that way we will have more mods, i rarther make them myself neway

PALMAN · Post by **PALMAN** » Tue May 25, 2004 6:36 am

You wouldn't say that if you were succesfull in turning your Pal into NTSC

And Master Chief, have some lucky bastard you know download it 4 u. It worked for me!
I went into a lot of trouble learning how to do this, now there is a perfect tut and still people are asking questions!

Mr_Mann35 · Post by **Mr_Mann35** » Sat May 29, 2004 6:32 am

just buy ntsc halo its only like

PALMAN · Post by **PALMAN** » Wed Jun 02, 2004 9:12 am

Now that will be a bit difficult on a PAL machine!

Hi d3fault_dot_xbe it's me richie178, long time no see, I think its time we do another map e.g SW

DJ Bouche · Post by **DJ Bouche** » Thu Jul 08, 2004 5:53 am

I agree... been playing way too many BG mods lately and getting sick of them

. Not that they're bad.. just have the hunger for another level's mods.

I wish there were some patching format that would scan for data movement in files.. would make these patches only very small (seems like the only major difference is the new string placement etc). I've heard plans for such formats.. but sadly they were never completed and released publically...

Maybe one day...

pokecancer · Post by **pokecancer** » Fri Jul 09, 2004 7:37 pm

to convert a ntsc level without these patches is easy. All you need to do is change the ntsc build number with the pal build number. its at 0x40 in any map.
