    Default Looking for a region detector...

    Hey guys, as you are all aware of, I upload torrents to the EP Bittorrent Tracker. I recently uploaded a game (Pacman World) and somebody didnt want it because of the region (you know, NTSC/PAL)
    Anyways, I was looking for a program that could detect what region the game is. Much thanks in advance.

    Well, with that you can just mount the ISO to a virtual drive and check it's region. SCES/SLES = PAL, SCUS/SLUS = NTSC-U, SLPS/SLPM = NTSC-J.
    I think Daemon Tools does the same thing, but I'm not sure.

    It said that it couldnt find the region BUT!, I found a loophole. I looked inside the disc and it revealed PAL. (SCES_009.34)

    Daemon's Tools does that, too. It is part of the disks's label. You can also try it in ePSXe if you want. If the game runs at 50 fps it is PAL. If it runs at 60 FPS it is NTSC.

    ISO Buster can read ISO contents without mounting it first
    and CD Mage does aswell ( CD Mage being the best CD ISO repair prog I know and it's totally free )

    ISO buster is also great for making ISOs. I use the free features and can make bin files which work well with emulators.
