DVD Region code hacks
dj_jus
25-05-2001
Does anyone know if there are sites where the code for DVD region hack chips can be downloaded?

I have a Panasonic DVD-RV20 which will only play region2 discs - and I'm not prepared to pay £25 plus for a chip which took less than 5 minutes for someone to copy. I can program the chips myself, so all I need is the code...

I know that the code for Playstation mod chips has been available to download for ages, so why not DVD chips? I could have a go at reverse engineering the codes myself, but why if I can download it?

It's either a chip I need or one of those DVDs with 'firmware upgrade' codes embedded in it. Anyone had experience of the 'Upgrade discs'?

Any comments would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Jus.

I have just tried looking for your code on the web, and I'm afraid there isn't one. Which means the region-free feature must be a chip.

Sorry!

I know that what I need is a chip - but I can buy blank chips and program them myself if I have the code to go in the chip. That's what I'm after.

I'll even settle for a review of those upgrade discs which are available now... (Better still how to rent one for less than £20).
