Re: My HD-E1 is now region free!

There's a remote hack to beat RCE discs??? For the love of God, someone please PM it to me now, so I can make the E1 into the machine of my dreams!

Re: My HD-E1 is now region free!

I've done the hack and tried 2 discs, one of them played ok (8 Mile R1) but the other (Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade R1) came up with incorrect region.

I'm not sure if the disc is RCE protected or not, can someone PM me the remote hack and I'll give it a go when I've watched the Manchester derby on TV

Thanks,

Nick.

Re: My HD-E1 is now region free!

Well thanks to Nick and friends my hd-a2 US specs plays Pal and Ntsc. It's region free and for some reason the RCE protection was not affected by the downgrade and upgrades. I don't need the remote hack for these dvds to play.I told Nick sooner or later I'll get my Pals dvds to play on the hd-a2.Thank you again..........Mel

Re: My HD-E1 is now region free!

Would any of you guys be kind enough to add me to a list for region free firmware and RCE hack, more than 50% of my SD,s are R1 and it would be great to free up some space under the tv. My E1 is v2.2,i would be more than happy to post on to someone else once i have used it.
many thanks in advance to anyone that can PM me the link or post out the cd.
cheers
Paul

A big thank-you to Kingfats for the quick reply

Just tried the two nearest discs that wouldn't play before;

So a great little player is now even betterererer

Cheers all
