Can anyone explain why Saturn emulators require specific bios regions to work with different region discs? I put a region switch in my original Saturn back in like, 1995 - which plays both US and Japanese discs on the original US bios without any issues. It still works to this day, I'd open it and take pictures to remember what I did, but if it ain't broke - don't fix it!
I only recently started messing with Saturn emulation (mostly because I'm still waiting for an ODE so I can hack stuff on real hardware), and found this quite curious. Obviously, it's easy to find the bios files out there, but it's interesting that this isn't required on real hardware at all, only a couple jumpers need switched.
