PAL game on NTSC PSP...

There shouldn't be any problems with this, am I right? I have two versions of Tales of Eternia on PSP--the original PAL release and the undub--but in both versions the intro movie skips like crazy and is basically unwatchable. The game plays fine otherwise. Is it just this game or what?

PSP games are region-free.

And do you have this compressed to a .cso? You really shouldn't use .cso's if you are because of issues like this.

The PSP isn't NTSC/PAL region coded. They're all capable of 60hz, and all have the same resolution of 480x272, scaled from 720x480.

Yeah I don't bother with CSO. Just confirming that it can't be the region difference. I'll look into it some more, thanks

Haha, this is hilarious. I compressed the game to a CSO and the video skipping went away. Same thing happened with another game. And there are some games that take a minute to start up as ISO, but 10 seconds as CSO. The only problem is that they have a bunch of slowdown as a result. Maybe if I compress them only halfway...
