Not found a full multiregion hack yet. The player is the same physically as an Eltax DR109 / Spirit system but the hack for the Eltax does not work. The Eltax must have a different firmware as it does not do pro-logic2 like the Minato.

Many R1 discs play automatically ( well over 75% of mine play without any hack or fiddles).
Ones that come up with the "wrong region" screen can be made to play by:
Press the " Prog" button.
press 1 , 1 then go down to where it says "start" and press enter.
The film will then start
It leaves "program" displayed on the screen but you can get rid of this by pressing "prog" ,selecting "stop", then "exit" (they highlight automatically when you press "prog" again anyway).
Using this method you can get any disc to play.. It will suffice until the multiregion hack becomes known.

I`ve just tried this on Behind enemy Lines but it doesn`t work. Looks like I may have to wait a while longer. :(

All you need is to try jumping to a different title or chapter. It bypasses the region check.
most of the films are Title 1. With "behind Enemy Lines " the film must be at a different title number. Just try different numbers until the film starts. Always keep the chapter number at 1 or you will start futher into the film than the start.
I have tried it with the following films and all have played . Title (TT) 1 and chapter (CH) 1 were the start of the film on these:
Hollow Man (and this is an RCE title)
Independance day
Aliens
Bedazzled

The majority of my Region 1 discs play automatically without any messing though. (24 that i have tried so far ,and 8 that have needed the program jump trick)
