... the one where you cut the 4th leg of the lockout chip, this will make it play any game you want, but if you do this on a PAL NES, will the games run in 60hz or in 50?
If not, what can be done to play games in 60hz on a PAL NES?

No, it wont make a PAL machine run in 60Hz. It wont even make it play any game you want. Rougly 95% of the games will work though.

So if I want to play NES games in 60hz do I have to buy a US or JP console??

i'd say less than 95% probably more like 70% without probs, some games do have issues

yes buy an american top loder, that one is region-free or buy an american toaster and do the mod.. then buy a copy of gyromite from the states, one of the heavier ones and wreck it for a 72>60 pin adaptor to play the japanese games
allternativly buy a famicom with a 60>72 pin adaptor, that way you can play famicom games properly and take advantage of the extra sound chips/graphics some games had
