i remember my old Megadrive model 1. Was bought in Thailand and a friend of my dads friend modded it to run PAL games. It was switchless and had some autofeature that made every game run in 60Hz. Too bad i sold it years ago :(. Remember when i bought Street Fighter 2 CE (PAL). At first it didnt work but after a second mod it also worked flawlessly.
I don't understand why you've installed a switch,as the whole point in using the pic16f630 is so you can control all the region/language modes via the reset button.
You can also do a cheap version of the switchless mod with only 1 74hc74 IC .
@1dosucol1 Not quite, as I change between *3* regions (60hz jap/usa) and I wanted a single button, and the LED to change colour, and memory of the last mode between power down/up with a 'soft' button.
I could have duplicated this (soft button, LED colour) using various other ICs but then I would not have memory between power down/power up.
I live in the uk and i have a sega megadrive and it plays pal games only. If i want to play us and japanesses games on my sega megadrive how do i play them.
I get that glitch on my megadrive 2 and its also a 50Hz version. Is it possible to just mod a Sega Genesis console to be able to play it in the PAL region at the 60Hz speed of the genesis?
I was able to fix the glitch and allow full colour in 60hz via composite/RF. I updated the video info on the top right, expand it and the link at the bottom explains the fix.
NOTE: The guide is for the megadrive 1 not the megadrive 2.
"As is, this mod will not work on the megadrive 2. This is because the megadrive 2's composite encoder does not have a built in crystal driver. I will be modding a megadrive 2 soon and at that point I will add instructions for it."
For a video that you yourself didn't particularly like, it's pretty good. It'll look much better once you're at mine to do it. It's a shame CRT TVs flicker.

@1dosucol1 The point of using the seperate button is that I did not want it all integrated into the reset button. I could have done that if I wished.

@mnprg So you've wasted money on the pic ,as you can do the multi region/language mod with just one switch !So the pic was used for nothing .

Is it just me or did the game run a quarter slower than regular PAL?

Will Genesis/Genesis 2 games work on a modded Mega Drive 2?

If you perform the mod correctly yes, however you will need an RGB cable. My PAL 60 fix does not (yet) work on the MD2.
