Title: IC: Laseractive Sega S1 /S10 Dual bios and Region mod
Post by: bust3dstr8 on November 25, 2014, 11:23:30 AM

I'm looking into modding my S10 Pac with an internal circuit that will switch regions and Bios without any external modifications.

So....I was wondering if this is a mod the community would be interested in?

I've seen it done using two bios chips and a switch on the enable pin.  Are you going to do like a multibios chip?  Sounds cool though.  I dont need it since I have both pacs but I'm sure some people might want it just for the sega cd / mega cd compatibility.  It doesnt really matter for LD games.

Seems like a cool idea to me.  There are two layers for the region check though right?  The bios chip itself and a jumper on the board?

i'd like to play some JP Cd games.

I wonder if there is room to mount a switch inside the cart slot door housing.  So youd just slip your finger in, flip the switch and go.

there is room, but switchless is doable too

That's the way you like it, isn't it?
