    I just bought a Japanese Dreamcast motherboard, the one with different cooling system. The layout is a little different from the US/Tectoy models I so I would like to know a few things about it.

    1) Is the PSU different from the other regions? Can I use an american PSU board on this JP board?

    2) So yeah the controller board is different. But can I mod an american one to fit it? If so, how?

    3) The optical unit - any differences?

    Guess that's it for now. Thanks guys!
