will we be able 2 do the same thing 2 the pal one when its released on may 3rd????coz im thinkin bout gettin one.any help please??:idea:

Thats for the Jap Gamecube, not the American One...

yeah,but u get what i mean.will this be possible when the pal cube comes out???thats wahat i want to know.

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

the pal mod will be a while yet i think. but i am looking forward to the multiregion disc thing being released which will allow pal users to play us and jap games on there cube

the multiregion disk has been released checkout www.codejunkies.co.uk

so anyone hav try out the multiregion boot disc?

i am now starting 2 think u will not need a chip to play backups. i think it will be like the DC. i can not under stand y nintendo would put a switch on the console which allows u to play inports

we will find out as soon as those images start rolling in from some kind cracker
