    Hey, this is my first time trying to region free mod a va2 model dreamcast. I just opened it up and noticed the board is laid out differently. Does anyone have a wiring diagram specific to the va2 boards? I want to do the piggyback install method.

    Thanks, but I'm pretty sure that guy is using a different mod chip. I'm using the bios chip with the region free dev kit flashed to them. I would want to piggy back the new bios chip on top of the old one so I can switch back and forth from the retail bios to the devkit bios.

    I'm actually just going to mod a va1 mobo now since I've done them a lot in the past. I would still be interested if someone has a tutorial for installing it on a va2 for future reference though.

    VA2 should be the same layout for the BIOS chip.
