Help with MR hack for my Phillips 963SA

[jchm]

I've just bought one of these for £99 from Play (it would be wrong not to at that price....)

After a Forum search I've tried the 'standard' MR hack using my Oneforall 6 (URC 7562), BUT it's not doing anything - the machine doesnt seem to recognise the 085 command from the remote and stubbornly just shows 'no disc' on the display....

Using the 'Play 1,5,9' command from the Phillips RC, I do get the dashes up on the display, but when I type in '222 222 005 255', the machine locks up completely and I have to unplug it at the mains!

Anyone with one of these last batches of 963SA's have any idea where I'm going wrong?

Cheers
John

I've never tried this, but have read somewhere that 000085 works on some when 085 doesn't.

Cheers M8 - I finally got there with 00085, but you put me on the right track!

I now have a lovely Region-free 963SA, and for £99!!

Thanks

Excellent, glad it worked!

Now check out getting the pal progressive uodate (can be found on this site and a few others) then redo the multiregion, you should be able to eke a bit more performance.
