It does not change the regions or the MV protection of DVD's. Although the newest rumored V5-V7 PS2 chips do. I also hear that there are ps2 chips coming out for the V7 that only have 11 wires.

If you want a Region free MV free DVD player just go buy that 49.99 Apex DVD player from wallymart or the Daewoo 5800 from Sams club as they can be made region free with the remote or a firmware update.
