I would never chip my Net Yaroze!!! The risk is to big and I don't want
to support illegal copied games.
I do want to keep informed about the possibilities that are out there. I
pointed out the risks of chipping to a lot of friends of mine. I said
that you have a rather large risk of screwing up your system. After
opening the case they also lost their warranty.
Well, my last point is not valit anymore. In Holland there are "action
replay" type of plugs that you put in the back of your system and that
"improves" the swapping techique.
As far as I heard, it works as follow:

- Put the device in the large connector on the back
- put an official PAL CD in the drive
- The drive will start running and read the code
- The device freezes the drive
- Now you can savely swap your CD with a NTSC or Gold disc.
- press a button on the device to get on with loading
- Now you can play any game

The device has a identification light to show when the drive is loading
or when it stopped. It supposed to be 100% proof and you don't need to
open the case.

I must say that I never checked this thing myself, but at least 3
friends (not knowing each other) told that it worked faultless.

Does anybody know more about this device? I'm still sceptic about it.
