    hi this mod here

    http://www.mmmonkey.co.uk/dreamcast-region-change/

    I wanted to know

    does it only change the region of the console so it plays the region games its been changed to (original disks)

    or does it change the whole bios to the specified region


    I ask this as I have a jap console that I want to set to PAL but don't see anypoint in doing that if the Japanese writing stays the same

    as a bios mod would then be better

    BIOS doesnt have anything to do with setting the region, only checking what is set in the flash. Region free bios ignores the check, so anything will play.

    If you change the region to PAL, it will play pal games. If you want to change a jap Dc to english, just change it in settings

    btw I changed the region on it to pal and changed the bootlogo
