Er, actually half of them already are If you look at the README.txt it does explain how to change the region for quite a few of the games (see section 10 - "Game-Specific Comments and Tips"). I'm sure we'll add get around to adding the missing ones at some point.

Cheers, Nik.

It's always perplexed me as to why these special hidden codes exist. In all Model 2 games (I think) and in some Model 3 games, you can just change it, but in some Model 3 games it requires you to press 40,000 different buttons and recite the Bible in Mandarin.

Daytona 2 Method 1 could probably be figured out by someone, perhaps even accidentally, but there's no hope in you ever finding the Sega Bass Fishing one on your own.

Stickied. Nik is right though, these are in the README file. The list is courtesy of Andy Geezer, who also helped us by providing the drive board ROMs. I've only included the ones that are usable in the README (some are not because of emulation bugs in the test menus or because the games don't even run yet, so I didn't want to confuse people).

Andy Geezer region codes FTW.

I guess there would be another way of changing region, providing if the nvram format has been figured out, but I suspect it will be game specific.
