U can use a patch on your iso to change a Pal game to Ntsc (and Ntsc to Pal) . There is plenty of patch-software out on the net, but look in the download area first, there might one there too.

SwapMagic CD v3.0, CD v3.3, CD v3.6, DVD v3.3 and DVD v3.6 all has a Pal/Ntsc option u can use to boot imported games/backups.

Ah yes, the dance game issue, The audio on both Pal and Ntsc is in the same sync. But the Pal shows 25 screens a sec and Ntsc shows 30 screens a sec. So most patches/swapmagic/other only fix the rez/sync of a game. Example: u patch a Pal game to show 30 screens a sec.... the audio play just fine ....but the software still changes the dance steps every 25 screen (making the game faster than the audio/Ntsc game).

There was a major outcry when FF7 was released. FF7 is a timebased fighting adventure (u all know that), and some Pal owners claimed that some timelimits was unbreakable because Square had forgot to adjust to 25 frames a sec (animations being 5 frames slower a sec than the Ntsc game).
