RE: Region Changer on JAP VA0 - dragoncity - 28.04.2018 00:18

So this is the bios I read with bios flasher :

RE: Region Changer on JAP VA0 - megavolt85 - 28.04.2018 00:44
it's ver. 1.004 , this bios don't use region from flashrom for regional check
RE: Region Changer on JAP VA0 - dragoncity - 28.04.2018 00:46
Ok so what is the solution for change in Europe?
RE: Region Changer on JAP VA0 - megavolt85 - 28.04.2018 00:49
replace BIOS
RE: Region Changer on JAP VA0 - dragoncity - 28.04.2018 00:52
Hum... if I change bios with "freebios" like jc-bootROM-devkit-v1.031.bin ?
Or an other?
I want just change the region for Dreamshell..is it possible to have just the Bios Dreamshell and Europe?

dreamshell don't use region
RE: Region Changer on JAP VA0 - dragoncity - 28.04.2018 01:00
Ok for be sure.. I change the bios (remove SEGA) with freebios.
After the swirl is Blue ? o_O
Because I need the region Europe for best compatibility with dreamshell
RE: Region Changer on JAP VA0 - megavolt85 - 28.04.2018 01:14
after change BIOS chip you can change region via Region Changer
RE: Region Changer on JAP VA0 - dragoncity - 28.04.2018 01:16
Hum.. but I need to keep this bios and piggy back dreamshell...?
or I can reflash this bios after region changer for put dreamshell?
RE: Region Changer on JAP VA0 - megavolt85 - 28.04.2018 01:29
what need? bios for boot from GD and bios with ds bootloader?
RE: Region Changer on JAP VA0 - dragoncity - 28.04.2018 01:36
Ok I explain better.
If I change the bios and after use region changer I will have Europe,right?
So after I can reflash the bios in dreamshell and keep Europe?
Or I need to have 2 bios after?
RE: Region Changer on JAP VA0 - megavolt85 - 28.04.2018 02:02
create BIOS mod -> write jc-bootROM -> remove MPR-21068 (original BIOS)
RE: Region Changer on JAP VA0 - dragoncity - 28.04.2018 18:08
In fact there is better we can directly with DS BIOS ^^
So I tested :
Change Bios with jc-bootROM > region changer > PERFECT and Blue Swirl !
After I tested
Change Bios with Dreamshell No-Gdrom > region changer > PERFECT and Blue Swirl !
And in Region Changer Europe > PAL > French
So Dreamshell Bios or Jc Bios I can change region !!
Thanks for your help
Ps: Why with the last DS we can't boot directly on ISO_LOADER..? o_O

Need to connect pin 23 to IC302 Pin1 for VA0...
But I tested without,and work... so why?
RE: Region Changer on JAP VA0 - megavolt85 - 28.04.2018 23:07
for va0 use MX29F1610 is 5v chip
RE: Region Changer on JAP VA0 - dragoncity - 28.04.2018 23:10
I use MX29LV160CTMC,and no problem without connect pin 23 to IC302 Pin1,so it's normal?
RE: Region Changer on JAP VA0 - megavolt85 - 29.04.2018 02:08
many people kill MX29LV160 on VA0 board, you were just lucky that the chip is still alive
RE: Region Changer on JAP VA0 - dragoncity - 29.04.2018 02:10
I used 10 Mx29lv160 on Va0..no problem.. o_O
I don't understand what is the problem exactly?
