(I cant remember what the other one is called)

I wanted to know if these are worth it, i've seen loads of NTSC games that I want but my Cube wont be able to play it without one of these Freeloaders.

What exactly is Freeloader?

How long does it take to load up games?

Is 'The Other One' Better?

Are they Worth it?

Thanks.

I think you got me wrong.
You need - 100% need - the Freeloader to play NTSC games on a PAL console. You only need the converter if your telly isn't compatible: - it won't be needed in most cases.

The Action Replay/Freeloader will allow games from any country to play on your GameCube. So if you're only getting a GameCube from one region and are going to be playing both PAL and NTSC games, I reccomend it.

I'll wait until I get my Cube and then i'll start to look for an Action Replay thing.

That Convertor looks more promising and I do have enough for it, will I still have to get Action Replay?

If not I will definately get it.

Has anyone ordered from that site?
If so, is it good?

You should just get Freeloader first, see if the games work or not - that's the best option, non?
If not, get the weird converter thingy and you're sorted.

But then there is difference between PAL 60 and NTSC 60 Hz modes.

Just to confuse you some more.
If you put a game into 60Hz and the picture comes out fine - in colour, and it should actually look better than in 50Hz, then you'll be fine. Take the Wind Waker or Mario Sunshine for example, hold B while the game loads up and you'll be able to change to 60Hz.

The only game I can think of with a NTSC 60Hz mode is Ico on the PS2, which comes out in black and white if I change to it on my telly.

You may need one of these:

I think.
Best to ask someone else.
