Are you getting the American version of Mario Sunshine, or the Japanese?
What is the Freeloader? Is it a disc?
I know it lets our UK 'Cubes play JAP and AMERICAN games, but how?

Too much trouble for me.....
Also i believe that using S-VHS connections will bypass any compatibility issues. However European consoles do not support S-VHS, so this information is only useful for the other territories.
If your telly supports the signal from an RGB cable you dont have to worry about NTSC colour compatibility, only 60hz compatibility. The RGB cable splits the signal down to red green and blue, so the colour coding aspect of an NTSC signal doesnt matter at all. If you have a reasonably new telly with a scart it should support it. All you have to worry about then is the 60hz refresh rate, so pop in a 60hz compatible uk game and see if it plays full screen with no flicker.
If it all works then bob is most definatly your uncle.

Well to an extent. If you only have an RF connection then it is most likely you are screwed. If on the other hand you have SCART and RF then you may be in luck. As most TVs convert signals that go through a SCART connector.

To know whether your TV does NTSC or not, it should have separate connections on the back of the TV to tell. For example, it should have a PAL AV in, NTSC AV in and a different one. If there is only one connection, scart or AV, then its unlikely that you can play NTSC games.
if you can stomach it, read my post below and that should explain everything. I know a little on the matter so If you got any questions whack 'em my way! :P
I have an idea which could be wrong but here it goes. If you have Luigi's Mansion you will find you can do a 60HZ mode on your TV, by holding down B when the cube loads, if your TV doesn't jerk or go weird if you get what i mean, your TV must be NTSC, as the US use 60HZ and we use 50HZ. I know for a fact my TV is NTSC as i have a Dreamcast with Virtua Tennis 2 and i chose the 60HZ option and it worked!!!! Hope that's right though :S
Im confident my TV will work, but if not i know i can use the one downstairs.
Ah............NTSC compatible TV? Might be a problem............or not! I'm not sure! Hopefully not! ED and Mario are tempting my wad of casherooni!
Well blow me down, that news is abit of a b*tch. So far I have not yet bought any import games but I'm going to Canada on Monday so I was going to get Sega Soccer Slam.
Well If it does not work on my TV, it hopefully will work on my new Panasonic Widescreen TV. But that means it will have to go downstairs which will be a shame.
