Page 1 of Palm pilot hack for Philips 711

Hi,

I have successfully hacked my philips 711 using the palm pilot hack on DVD reviewers site.

Out of interest does this hack thwart RCE ?

Thanks in advance
Nick

Yes.
This hack is RCE compatible

I`ve got a hacked philips 711, what is rce anyway.... ?

program code that checks for the proper region setting in the player. (There`s Something About Mary and Psycho are examples.) In late 2000, Warner Bros. began using the same active region code checking that other studios had been using for over a year. They called it "region code enhancement" (RCE, also known as REA), and it received much publicity. RCE was first added to discs such as The Patriot. RCE and other "smart discs" may check the language or country settings of the player in addition to the region code. A serious side effect is that some legitimate players fail the test, such as the Fisher DVDS-1000. Discs with active region checking won`t play on code-free players that are set for all regions (FFh), but they can be played on manual code-switchable players that allow you to change the region using the remote control. They may not work on auto-switching players that recognize and match the disc region. (It depends on the default region setting of the player. A disc can have all its region flags set so that the player doesn`t know which one to switch to, then it can query the player for the region setting and abort if it`s the wrong one. A default setting of region 1 will fool smart discs from region 1.)
