PAL GameCube games with Progressive Scan

A common misconception about PAL GameCube games and even PAL GameCube systems, is that they don't support Progressive Scan. While it is true that most PAL GameCube games don't support this feature, PAL GameCube's of the DOL-001 model have the same Digital port as North American and Japanese GameCube's and therefore are capable of displaying games in Progressive Scan. There are also at least two PAL GameCube games that support it.

Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee

The PAL release of Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee supports Progressive Scan, like the North American release. Usually, as is the case with other PAL GC games, you'll be given the option to run the game in 50Hz or 60Hz. But if you're using Component cables, you'll instead be given the Progressive Scan option from the North American release.

Timesplitters: Future Perfect

The PAL release of Timesplitters: Future Perfect is also able to run in Progressive Scan, though you wouldn't know it unless you have a Freeloader. Once again, you're usually given a Refresh Rate option giving you the choice of 50Hz or 60Hz. By using both Component cables and a Freeloader (use Version 1.06B), you'll be given the Progressive Scan option.
