Thank you! I did this mod today after getting sick of typing in 5 Game Genie codes to play Yu Yu Hakusho. Fantastic!

Very nice!

I did not know how to do this, or had the opportunity to try. Thanks for the great tutorial!

Thanks guys. It's like the easiest mod after you figure it out - like it was right there in front of me during all the time I spent screwing around trying to figure out more complicated ways to do it.

Sorry to bump that ooooold thread up but as anyone succesfully managed to install a frequency switch on the X'eye since then?

EDIT: The procedure has been figured out, you can find my full walkthough on how to install the US/JPN cartridge slot region switch in a JVC X'Eye through the link below...

Below is the thread that lead to this.

Many of us have seen the Genesis mod info here...

As one can see there are directions for a cartridge US/JP switch for the Wondermega 1. However I haven't seen a similar tutorial for the JVC X'Eye, which is based off the Wondermega 2 architecture. I've heard of US/JP cartridge switches on JVC X'Eyes but have been unable to find any information on how to perform the mod. I'm guessing it'll be similar to the Wondermega 1 mod, so I guess my real question is what jumper am I looking for?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

yeah i use to have one, i believe i sold it to somebody here on the forums back in 2003

I don't get down around the technical forums anywhere near as much as I used to. For a couple reasons - first I no longer have my shop, and second I got tired of arguing with a couple other forum members over trivial modification and repair issues.

That said, I've updated the link to the tutorial in my initial post. I did some site housekeeping awhile back and moved the pages around, it's fixed now.

I don't see why it wouldn't, since the system is based around the Genesis 2 architecture, and pin 46 of 315-XXXX sets 50Hz / 60Hz there.

The first line in the initial post explains it all, I was able to research out the correct information and provide the tutorial.
