Strange behaviour of Soul Calibur...

Hello everyone... this is mainly directed to all the owners of PAL Dreamcasts, but it's open to everybody as well.
I got my second-hand DC with Soul Calibur PAL version (ehr.. backup). I immediately tried it, and got disappointed by the introduction, which was heavily screwed up. So I decided to hunt for the NTSC version, and finally found it. I burned it, slapped the cd in, and tah-dah!! Intro worked flawlessly... however, the game was playing at 50hz!!! I got PAL Patcher (Thanks again Slipperchin!!), found 50hz code and a pal protection code 3. Patched just the 50hz code... burned it again... now, the game is at 60hz, BUT!!!! The intro skips. It plays fine until Kilik comes into scene: as soon as the camera passes by his head towards the sky, screen goes black and the program skips to the title screen. Which is the *same* thing my PAL copy did (however, the pal intro was buggy for other things as well). So now I have: 1) NTSC 50hz which has full intro and 2)NTSC 60hz with skipping intro. I would try to patch the protection code 3, but I decided to ask here in this great forum for advices... does anyone know why this games behaves this way? I know I could stick with the 50hz version, but I don't want to lose my speed... after all, if it was a hz problem, the TV wouldn't even start to display the game... Please, help!!!!

Thanks in advance.
