    So I'm looking into installing a region switch on the JVC X'EYE and there seems to be NO documentation on how this can be done.

    I have a chip burned that contains the bios for the japanese equivalent ( the wondermega) but have no idea what to actually do with it.

    Can anyone here please shed some light on the subject? Anyone with charts, experience doing this, ANYTHING would help as I do not know what chip on the board houses the bios.

    This might be a stupid question but which chip on the motherboard contains the bios?

    There isn't a convenient EPROM sized/shape mask ROM on the X'EYE. It is not as easy as removing one and installing another.

    Would be lovely if it was as I'm trying to do this myself.
