PAL Wii - NTSC games - video mode fail

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. pal wii (not wii u)
2. connect PAL wii via scart cable
3. in wii settings, tv type = 50Hz (576i)
4. metroid prime ntsc retail disc
5. load nintendont through homebrew channel
6. force pal60 
7. launch game from disc
8. black screen!

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

expected to run in full colour as this setup works fine for super mario 
sunshine NTSC on PAL wii, but instead game does not load, you get a black 
screen.  The only differences I can think that these two NTSC games have is 
that prime has the progessive scan compatible feature.

if you force ntsc then game will load however video is in red tint.

changing the wii settings, tv type = 60Hz (480i) makes no difference.

it's worth noting that the nintendont loader interface has a red tint.

What revision of Nintendont are you using? On what system Wii/Wii U?

nintendont v3.358 - original wii - retail discs launched from drive

Please provide any additional information below.

running metroid prime NTSC on a PAL wii works fine in pal60 mode in full colour 
with no black screen, if launched from gecko OS 1.9.3.1 by brkirch.  Therefore 
gecko OS is achieving something that nintendont isn't, and therefore this error 
can't be blamed on a hardware setup!

Thanks
