I wouldn't give up that easy. There may be patches or some thing like for PS2 games.
Also I found these
converters that will convert PAL to NTSC. Its about 1/3 way down the page.
Now they are based in the UK. They said it would cost about $78 and I went and checked the exchage rate for 08/20/03 and it came to $79.59938.
So any way... Maybe some one here knows away yo get around it. There has to be some way.
