This has only been discovered recently by Sappharad.
I wouldn't really call it a 'discovery'. It wasn't something hidden that I happened to find. I disassembled the game and patched the logic that checks the save region so that it would allow any region. (The code changed is documented in the thread where I posted it, along with instructions how to patch it into the game so you don't need a cheat device for it.)
Someone could have done it back in 2001, but I guess nobody with the appropriate knowledge tried until late last year. It was on my wish list, so I finally went and did it.
As for the comment itself, yeah, codebreaker and probably every DC cheat device is capable of this. The cheat devices can modify values in memory. When you load the game, the game code is also in memory, so we can use codebreaker to 'install' the patch that would otherwise be applied to the code on the disc. Most codes just modify game memory as opposed to the game code itself in memory, so this type of patch is much less common. I hope this makes sense.
