If your region didn't fail we wouldn't be having this dispute would we.... as an asside it's interesting to note that the Genesis Model 2 mainboard has MD2 printed upon it standing for Mega Drive 2 as it is a Mega Drive 2 with a fail name for a fail region due to fail patent laws belonging to a fail law system of fail. All Mega Drive hardware made is identical between regions with regional lockout being set with a series of jumpers, and every revision of hardware is labelled MD for Mega Drive including the fail Genesis.94.172.127.37
