You are right, a simple conversion from NTSC to PAL is very easy.
Except for the colors (only 104) all other resources are more
available (VBLANK/Overscan CPU time and vertical screen size).

But if you plan a "better" conversion, where the additional PAL
scanlines are utilized and the game speed remains the same, then you
should make your code a bit more flexible.

Though probably not for your first project, where you will have enough
problems to solve, even without caring for PAL/NTSC conversion. :-)

Have fun!
