Sega Genesis MK1 Region Mod PART 1

Just at tutorial for a JP/ENG switch. It's a very simple mod, but I figure some people may still need a little guidance, or at least have something to see how easy it really is. This tutorial is in 3 parts.

go to search, Sega Genesis Region Mod (Model 1) , his video is much simple, 4 mins long and doesn't include pointless chats as well as unneeded drawings of everything <_<

@SNESosT I agree, not everyone cares what they're doing, but I figured I'd make a comprehensive video in case someone wanted to understand everything.

Thanks for watching.

Will this mod let those cartridge based region lock out games work on a North American Genesis model 1? Or is it just to let you change languages for games that contain both languages (Mystic Defender, Ghouls N Ghosts, Revenge of Shinobi, etc..)

Thanks for sharing.. it's very helpful!

@videogameobsession I suppose I don't own any completely locked-out games, but I am under the impression that the only difference between motherboards between regions/countries are those jumpers - just a simple manufacturing money saver.

ont have the high def graphics, will this still work? i just opened mine up i have the switch in hand and every thing, so let me know soon. i mean the like jumpers look the same here

[alecjahn]

I guess technically I haven't modded one of those, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Same jumper numbers go to the same places.

@SNESosT

No. I've seen enough on-line tutorials that go way too fast, and this one on the contrary goes into detail nice and slowly.

Nice alec, I JUST finished doing this and then found your vid. I just figured it out based on the spots on the board. and i had a tiny switch and put it in from of the channel 3, 4 thing. Now mine can only do channel 3, but who cares.

[SNESosT]

ok EVERY BODY SKIP TO PT 3 because the first 2 pts are about what you need, should do and stuff, in pt 3 he basically just soldiers 3 points, JP, US, GORUND,

and soldiers those to the switch, The END

[HospitalWaste]

have you tested it?? i have some japanese games and used to have an adapter but cant find the adaptor and now they dont boot. They are not mega drive games just NTSC games. Will this mod make them work?? cuz i cant seem to find a replacement for that adapter
