Title: Sega Genesis 2 Mods
Post by: matthew on May 21, 2006, 07:50:21 AM
i changed the red led, and added 2 SPDT switches...1 for the region and 1 for the 50/60Hz...when the 50/60Hz switch is set to 50Hz (GND) my tv flickers constantly of the screen of the game sort of up/down...did i do something wrong or is it just my tv? What games could i use to determine if the region switch worked...i have tried a few games and i cant tell any difference.

Your TV flickers and rolls because it can't handle 50Hz.  That' pretty normal.

As for test carts...  I know ThunderForce IV did a region check.  So did Mega Turrican.

You will only need to start out in 50Hz in order to run region protected PAL games (as a rule of thumb, all games released in 1993 and later have this type of protection), you can switch over to 60Hz as soon as the title screen appears.
