    The MegaKey II was a device for the MegaDrive. It caused the game to think that it was running in a console of a different country, this is, it changed the Export and PAL flags in run-time, or something like that. It's a Brazillian device (I think), and I was researching about it some time ago. Here you have my researching, if you're interested in it:

    So it was basically a Genesis import device? My question is, what was the point of Switch 4 if every region setting documented on your site allowed it to be in any position?

    That's the same I asked. But maybe it's a blank switch. Remember, this is a pirate device, and maybe the guys who made it weren't able to found a 3-switch component... However, according to what is said in the table, and since the switch mentioned for fixing in case of not working is SW3 and not SW4 (this may be an error of them, anyways)...
