Gamester (short for Games Territory) alters the CD image prior to recording, making the resulting copy appear to be from the territory of your choice.
The main use of this is to allow use of CDs on consoles (such as the PSone) where the conventional "mod-chip" is unable to defeat the machine's territory protection.
PAL4U is a GUI controlled NTSC-2-PAL patcher which is able to switch the graphic mode from NTSC to PAL on ISO images or PSX executables. This way NTSC imports can be played without a RGB cable. It finds both the code sequences scanned by PALPAR and PALNTSC, but it's full 32 bit and it can also creates .PPF patch files.
Pal4U 2000 is the scanner which generates the .P4U files. P4UPATCH effectively applies the patch.
Here are the features:
4 videomode sequences are found and patched;
Y-POS code fixes the screen;
P4U file format can be distributed and contains the patcher' name and other infos
fully 32bit, compatible with win 2000;
Both Pal4U2000 and P4UPATCH are 32 bit programs, fully compatible with Windows 2000.
Keep in mind that this tool will not always correctly detect/fix the game to PAL mode. Checkout the PAL4U WebSitewhich games are working and which do not!

Padus DiscJuggler must be used to patch the CD-Image files.
As an additional feature the tool will also show the PAR Code of the of the Color Check. Handy because there is no need to re-burn the CD-Image just use the Code to patch the game to PAL or NTSC.
Keep in mind that this is a generic "code-seacher" so it will not find valid code in all games!
