READ CAREFULLY! - Switching from NTSC to PAL:
DO
NOT SWITCH FROM NTSC TO PAL UNLESS YOU HAVE A PAL TV AND A PAL PLAYSTATION!!!
If you switch from NTSC TO PAL you might damage your game enhancer to the
point where (there is a good chance) you might never be able to switch
it back to NTSC and therefore not be able to use it ever again. I absolutely
refuse to replace any game enhancer that has been switched to PAL mode
accidentally! If you live in
North or South America, you do NOT want to switch from NTSC to PAL for
ANY reason!!! Switching from NTSC to PAL does NOT add any new features
or improve the quality of the game enhancer's capabilities. It basically
changes the screen resolution to a format which CANNOT be viewed by North
or South American televisions. Just to let you know: PAL PlayStation games
have the same resolution as NTSC PlayStation games anyway, so even if you
could get away with switching your game enhancer to PAL (which you cannot
do by the way) it wouldn't be worth the effort.
If you live in North
or South America, YOU DO NOT HAVE A PAL TV!!! Only if you have a PAL
TV and PAL PlayStation and live OUTSIDE of North or South America do you
want to do the following:
-
Press L1, SELECT AND then press "O"
to
switch to PAL mode.
Game Enhancer right side switch in the down position - This starts original Sony PlayStation games ("black bottom" disc games) with no codes, just like the PlayStation would if the Game Enhancer was not in the system, except it also bypasses the "black and white" Sony PlayStation introduction screens for faster bootups.
Game
Enhancer right side switch in the up position - This can be used to
boot copies and imports [Click here to find out how by
going to the Methods page], as well as the use all of the
Game Enhancer's features with On-Screen controls. Keep in mind that the
Game Enhancer's On-Screen controls will not work with copied games unless
you load the country code from an original "black bottom" PlayStation disc
first. Visit:

find out how.
Game Enhancer On-Screen Controls:
(Keep in mind that "X" generally always goes back to a previous step/menu and that "O" generally always goes forward to the next step/menu or "accepts").

the game normally, or can be used to start a copied/import game. Visit:

This will load the game using the codes you have selected in the "SELECT CHEATS" menu which will be described later on in this user guide. The currently selected cheat title appears at the bottom of the screen in a box. If the message "Plug-Mod CD-R Function Inside!!" is written in the box, then no cheat codes have been selected yet, your game will still run fine if you press "O" on either "START GAME @ MOD PLAY !" or "START GAME WITH CHEATS". This option can also be used to use cheat codes with a copied/import game.
This takes you to a list of all the codes that are in the Game Enhancer's memory that can be EDITED (added to, removed, etc.) If there are games listed in this section and you wish to use cheat codes from one of them in a game, move up and down on your controller to highlight a game of your choice and press the "O" button. This will bring you to a list of codes for that game. Move up and down to highlight a code, press the "O" button to select (or unselect) a code. The "+" symbol will show up on both sides of the code to let you know which codes are active. You can use more than one code in a game at a time. Press "square" on the code description to view the code's actual body. After the desired codes are selected, press "X" five times to go back to the main menu and chose either "START GAME @ MOD PLAY !" to start the game without the selected codes, or "START GAME WITH CHEATS" to start the game using the cheats you have enabled. Keep in mind that the right side switch on the Game Enhancer toggles whether the code effects are ON (switch in the UP position) or OFF (switch is in the DOWN position) during game play.

Finally,
after confirming all the codes you have just entered (with one press of
the "X" after each line of code) if you press down one more time, you will
highlight the "Default:ON" option. Pressing "O" on this will toggle whether
the code is defaulted to ON or OFF the next time you select the game from
the "SELECT CHEATS" menu.
To Use the Code You Have Just Entered:
Follow
these steps:
Press
"X" five times (or until you reach the main menu) and then press "O" on
"SELECT CHEATS". If there are games listed in this section and you wish
to use cheat codes from one of them in a game, move up and down on your
controller to highlight a game of your choice and press the "O" button.
This will bring you to a list of codes for that game. Move up and down
to highlight a code, press the "O" button to select (or unselect) a code.
The "+" symbol will show up on both sides of the code to let you know which
codes are active. You can use more than one code in a game at a time. Press
"square" on the code description to view the code's actual body. After
the desired codes are selected, Press "X" five times (or until you reach
the main menu) and chose either "START GAME @ MOD PLAY !" to start the
game without the selected codes, or "START GAME WITH CHEATS" to start the
game using the cheats you have enabled. Keep in mind that the right
side switch on the Game Enhancer toggles whether the code effects are ON
(switch in the UP position) or OFF (switch is in the DOWN position) during
game play.
In the "SELECT CHEATS" menu, highlight any code you wish to delete and then press the "triangle" button, it will then ask you "Delect code, are you sure?" (P.S. Yes, I am aware of the spelling they use to spell delete :) then hit "O" on "OK" to confirm the delete.
