It depends on the game. Some games like Apocalypse simply misbehave if you force it to NTSC. Fixing these can be impossible.

But saying that, some games simply hardcode in a PAL screen with something like move.w #$20,$dff1dc and so overwrite the NTSC tooltype you use. All decent patchers snoop test the games to remove these kinds of things but some patchers are lazy. Basically you should contact the author of the install and ask/beg them to fix it if it's a game you really like.
