Hi, I'm trying to mod my Japanese Neo Geo CD with a switch so that I can switch between English and Japanese. I have some information on how to permanantly make the system one or the other from this site <a href="http://www.nickthfury.com/neogeo/cdmods.htm" target="_blank">http://www.nickthfury.com/neogeo/cdmods.htm</a> but I want to make a switch and i'm not really sure how to do that, can anyone help me out please?

Thanks,

Sean.

I never had a NGCD but it looks dead easy: if you have the Japanese version, then all four jumper locations will be empty (i.e. no jumpers). You have to instal a SPDT toggle switch somewhere on the NGCD plastic housing. Something like this:

You solder one wire to the center terminal and another wire to one of the side terminals (no matter which one). Then you solder the other ends of the two wires to the solder joints of jumper 4. That's it...

Yup, I was going to write the same thing, but possibly I can't explain it better...
