PAL games on NTSC GC?

[Tibia]

I want to run a PAL disc on my NTSC GC. Is there a mod to do this, or is my only option a modchip? If I do need a modchip, can I get one for under $20?


In addition, is there a way to run that PAL disc on an NTSC Wii without a modchip? Or homebrew?

easybuy2000 (the company that sold the x-rom GBA flash cart) used to do this mod years ago, before they disappeared.

@Alex_Brodie: I'd seen that mod before, but it only works for NTSC-J games on an NTSC system.

@Nevermind1534: I've seen some chips for around $40, but I can import a PAL GC for about $25. I don't know what would happen if I used a PAL console on my TV, though. It's an Insignia LCD, but I don't know if it's multi-region capable.

Oh, I think you might be right. I guess you could try and see hoe it turns out. If it's like the NES or SNES, it will still output an NTSC signal.

Pal gamecubes can run at 60hz so it shouldn't be a problem.

If the Wii is softmodded I'm pretty sure you can load the PAL game using a backup channel (Just set it to force NTSC).
