Tutorial on how to setup a simple region switch on a Nintendo GameCube. With this installation you are free to go back-and-forth between American and Japanese games. Great for collectors who switch between the two frequently. Note: Game Boy games and Game Boy Player hardware are region free. The Start-up disc is not.
