Yeah I had the PAL mode hooked up to start, but it was really annoying to see the screen change every time I paused the game so I disabled. The screen would go B/W temporarily but then return to color after. Since I don't plan on playing PAL games I decided to disable the hold start option.

Yeah very few fun uses for switching to JP mode powered on. To play US Streets of Rage 2 in Japanese without region force cheat or similar is an odd exception. Its lockout occurs after boot.

One issue is how replacement LCDs handle PAL related stuff. 50hz mode on some becomes grayscale without a fix. (I briefly had a Nomad affected by that, but never got it fixed)
