I had a chap burn me a chip with the multi bios on it, v1.11...I was under the impression I could select the region upon start up. What I get is just the menu:

A - JPN (default)
B - Euro
C - US

I can pound all of the buttons and nothing happens, it just defaults to the JPN. I've tried on different games (using the multi-cart) and it all just defaults to the JPN. I know there are like 2 games that JPN won't work on and I'm not trying those.

Is there an advantage of having the multi bios if it just defaults to the JPN region?

With my mod bios I generally hold the button for whatever region I want until the game boots. Easiest way to check is hold, say, B and start something like Terrain Diver that has an easily noticeable difference in region.

Not sure if the multi cart makes a difference, I only ever tried on original carts. If it doesn't change region then the multi bios is no better/no worse than an og bios.

Ugh, you are right. I wasn't holding it down long enough, such an ass.

Defaults to Japan, because it's the region that has the most game compatibility.
