    If its a frequency switch, you should see your monitor report back 50 or 60hz. if you switch it after booting a PAL disc.
    If you switch region and freq to anything other than US region 50hz, it will make a PAL disc not boot. 50hz and US region=PAL 50hz and JP region= Asian PAL which is not really a standard. 60hz + JP =JP mode, 60hz + US=US mode

    ok, then switch the others before powering on and booting the game. In game they won't change anything.

    You could also take a quick peek inside, see where the switches are connected. This shows how a region mod is done.
