Hello I had a RingEdge 2 pc that had a bad motherboard so I ordered one on eBay it had all the same numbers and stickers and both say sega Japan. I’m trying to test the pc at home and it boots to initialization then gives me region error. Is the region info stored on the motherboard or is it stored on something in the cabinet? And if it’s stored on the motherboard is there a tutorial to change the region anywhere?
 
Region is in motherboard eeprom and tere is no tutorial to change region.
Another option is to change OS part (Segaboot) so it doesn't check region.

Region is stored in SRAM, not in the bios EEPROM.
If you are tavelling North anytime soon I would reprogram it without touching hardware. $0.
Also region is keychip dependant.
Let me know what you are trying to accomplish.

I'm in Jax.
