Can anyone tell me if you can mod a US gamecube to play JPN games?

I have already modded about 50 JPN gamecubes to play US games, but not sure if you can go the other way around.

Any help would be appreciated.

Yes you can, it's really easy actually.
You know how you mod the Jap game cube, by puting a switch on the R39 jumper, wich is the middle jumper?
well on the US, you have 3 jumpers, and you only have the middle conecting, put the switch on the bottom jumper (the one close to the ATI video chip) leave the other the same, the middle makes the system US the top Pal and the Botom Jap.
it's really easy....

The Q is not that easy to mod…
The Us/Jap mod is really simple, since it uses the same board as the Jap GC.
You just put a switch on the r39 jumper and that’s it, really simple.
Now the DVD mod is not really that simple to do (20+wires)
Besides I don’t think anyone sells the modchip for that anyway.
Try to give lik-sang.com an email and ask how much it would cost you to get the DVD mod and how much for shipping, I know they do the mod’s, I also heard that NCSX.com does them as well, but I haven’t really seen anything on there site, so give them an email as well.
Good Luck.
