EDIT 2021 Jan 24: This is resolved with the release of MegaCD 2021-01-24.
Looks like the latest update as caused auto-region to not work, as I now have to set it to JP first, then open the game - but even then, I get an error when the game loads telling me I can't play it in this console. Interesting new screens nonetheless... maybe I need to tweak something? Can anyone else confirm? If not, I'll try and grab some screenshots.
Thank ya!!

Also, Auto Cart Region option changes aspect ratio for some reason.

Same here, although all the games boot correctly. I have tried with a few Japanese titles and they all booted even without changing the region.SegaSnatcher wrote: ↑Sun Jan 24, 2021 11:34 am Also, Auto Cart Region option changes aspect ratio for some reason.

What is Autocard Region good for?
I replaced original BIOS with EU_MegaCD2_30031993_regionfree , MD5 1dc80e5bcfb91e067ca0745b3c18adb6 -> boot.rom
I can load any country and it still works. Autocard Region is disabled for me.

Which is the best compatible BIOS to use for all regions? I updated the new fix today and 2021-01-24 and autoregion seems to be working for your default BIOS. If I choose JP/EU I still get the error about my console is not for this region. If I choose USA which is my default BIOS then my EU/JP games won't load as I get a CD player screen. I tried the EU_MegaCD2_30031993_regionfree BIOS and all region games load but alot of them freeze at the Sonic screen.

I use the BIOS US_SEGA_CDX_930907_regionfree.bin because it autoboots the games.
