PAL Gamecube on NTSC TV

[jlo138]

This isn't really a question though a solution I found for some of you...

I have a PAL Gamecube and I recently sold my component cables as I needed the cash. I heard of but wasn't exactly familiar with the issues using a PAL on an NTSC TV via composite. I do have more than one cube so this isn't an issue but my TV's don't allow region changes at all. I also own a GC compatible Wii with component.

I do own a gaming projector where I as a last resort connected it and I found it also detects and accepts PAL 50 and 60hz. So if any of you have run into the same problem and happen to have a projector, then try it out and see.

....or just buy a NTSC mainboard for $5 from badassconsoles.com

Well it's mod chipped. I have 7 more cubes that are ntsc already. It's not an issue that will keep me from playing.

Few CRTs in the US accept PAL, not counting special monitors like PVMs.
Or try an HDTV. They're more likely to.

If you were thinking about modding to fix the color, Gamecube's color encoding isn't 100% understood.
I haven't seen a known method to between NTSC and PAL (that is, undeniable video or something of it actually working).

Some discussion on the subject here.
