So it's crazy because the SWIRL don't change (always in Orange not Blue),and I see with your tool "Country Europe"..why?

BUT I tested a PAL game and Doesn't work !

[megavolt85]

test reset to default please

[dragoncity]

Change nothing...

[megavolt85]

on photo inital value or you alredy change region by my tool?

[dragoncity]

No with Region Changer 1.5 by SWAT.

But after reboot SWIRL doesn't change...always Orange..and PAL game doesn't boot !

[megavolt85]

change region by my tool to
Country - Japan
Language - Japan
Broadcast - NTSC

save, reboot, change to Europe - English - PAL

[dragoncity]

Ok I will test,but why Europe - English - PAL ..and not Europe - French - PAL ?

English or French change nothing it's that?

it's checked by BIOS, for run game another region need Region FREE BIOS
region in a flashrom doesn't participate in this check

hm, no, it's not normal

[dragoncity]

So doesn't work

For write need just the cable 12V to R512 right?

With VA1 no problem with Region Changer 1.5...

yes
SYSTEM - RW , then your flashrom unlocked for write. without 12V to R512 SYSTEM - RO (read only)


check update
