		I know you guys probably know the answer to this, but being new to the Mega CD emu scene I just need some things sorting out. I am currently looking to buy a european Mega CD and would like to know what procedures I need to do to play copied games...if possible. As I have the US Snacher version downloaded and woould like to know if its possible. Thanx

		To play US games on a Euro MCD all you need is the tool SCDConv.... It changes the country code of most games and works best with US->Euro conversions. And thats it No swapping, no modboards. Easy .

		Cool...and thanx.. So the MegaCD can read CDR's just like the DC can?

		Yep. Just don't burn the games too fast (like, less than 8x). (Edited by Curtis at 6:55 pm on Mar. 27, 2002)

		yep, scdconv works with most games but not all, there is a mod available to let you select which bios you need, and therefore which region. Arakon sells them for $35, and i will get one eventually

		I have an European MegaCD and all NTSC games worked fine (with SCDCONV) except for Vay & F1 Circus.

		Thanx people. I have just won on Ebay a Mega CD 1 with Mega Drive, two pads and 12 games for £23. Can't wait for it.
