There are convertor boxes that can turn a PAL signal into NTSC, BUT be warned, they are expensive....:(

Best bet would be to backup the game with a PAL-NTSC patch....

I don't know if you can play imports with the no solder mod or not (I never touch the stuff..:p )

BUT... If your in the US and have a US TV, you can play JAP games (as long as your mod chip allows) no problem....It is the same format as US 60 hz...... When it comes to PAL games you are screwed (unless you patch them or have a converter box)... A US TV cannot handle the PAL 50hz signal, it will cause the screen to roll and the picture to be in black and white...
The other option would be to have a multi-system TV, which are still rather expensive in the US....

Download PPF-O-Matic 3....(Use a search engine, you will find it no problem)

Create the .GI image of the game on your harddrive. Locate a PAL-NTSC patch for the game you want to patch....

Open PPF.... Point it to the image of the game. Point the second option to the place where the patch is. Apply patch.... Then burn...

When you get PPF, you will see that its very straightfoward....

Is auto modelista the JAP version... If so, no patch is needed....(Also is it the dvd-rip or what?)

I'll see if I can find a patch for Twin Caliber...
