You might be able to. But who knows. I just modded my US cube to play both JAP and US games (was extremely easy). Since the "region select area" has 3 resistors in it and the middle one is for US, the bottom is for JAP, I would assume that, unless Nintendo changes the placement of them, the top one would be for PAL games. All you would need is a 3 pin, 3 selection switch. Or a regular switch if you only wanted to play games from two regions of your choice. But then comes the problem of the rolling b&w video screen.

the video screen could be fixed by using a PAL>NTSC cable or by a video mode hack similar to the PS2

That third resistor is throwing me off the more I think about it. Its on both the JAP and US consoles, so I"m thinking its just there to balance something out and has nothing to do with PAL. The more I think about it the more I feel like it won't help out at all for playing PAL games.

Datel are releasing a disc that allows you to play imports on a PAL gamecube :D
