Unibios for Neo Geo CD?

Are all of the Neo CD console variants region-free?
Is there any bios mod for them? Could the Unibios be updated to work with them?
Does anyone have photos of the internals of a Neo CD?

Yes. Also, if you want to choose between English and Japanese modes, it's easy to install a language switch.

No. It's been asked many times, and although it's probably possible, the short answer is it's not really worth all the effort.

I'm sure you can find some. There are directions for the language switch mod all over.

Are the CD versions all uncensored? Are the games censored according to which bios you have?

They are censored depending on what system they are loaded on. i.e. a Japanese system will load in Japanese, uncensored. A U.S. system will load in English and will be censored. Most games have an option to change the language option, which in most cases will unlock blood, (uncensored mode). Some of the newer titles on cd will not however show blood, as in Samurai Shodown 3-4. Install a switch if you'd like, it's a lot less of a pain in the ass if you want uncensored content on the cd.

Sorry to bump this thread almost six years after it was started but I believe the Neo Geo CD Uni Bios has been released here:

how can i install the unibios on my Neogeo CD console?

On a front loader you just replace the BIOS chip with the Unibios eprom. On a top loader you'd use a CD NeoBiosMasta (I don't know if Turfy still has any or not) and on a CDZ you'd pretty much need to send it to a highly skilled modder, it's pretty hard to do without making a mess of the inside of the system.
