Game Gear Identity Crisis

Recommended Posts

Anyone here Master System or Sega nuts? I know people from the United Kingdom and South America love old Sega. I'm trying to figure out what I can do to make my Game Gear say it's Japanese, but I have no idea how. It seems you can't away with breaking or soldering chips, but I'm not so sure.

These links *seem* to be something to go on, but I have no clue:

http://www.smspower.org/Development/RegionDetection

http://www.smspower.org/Development/RegionChanging

It would seem like making the Game Gear change regions is changing one value through software or something, but I am not positive. While supposedly the Game Gear and Master System are supposed to be very similar, the region changing link is for the Master System only, so I don't know if a similar type of modification will have the same result.

If I somehow have to change the software maybe I can do it with a Game Genie? That's what I use for my Genesis to play other regions. I can't find any kind of general region changing codes for Game Gear.

Maybe someone can point me in the right direction or knows someone who messes with this crap?
