Desperately Seeking DVD-ROM Hacks...

I have a Pioneer DVD-104S DVD-ROM and wanted to know if there was any way for me to swap the regions when the clock runs down? If anyone knows of a software hack or bios switch, could they post the url? ta

Check out this URL.
I managed to free my Toshiba laptop drive on here.
You`ll still need something like DVDGenie to control region switching though!

And thanks to that chappy that gave me this URL :o)

As far as I know, you need to use the firmware on the DVD-ROM drive itself (I seem to remember reading all pioneer drives are region locked, mine was. I have and DVD 114 10x40 speed.) Careful though, if you get the wrong firmware, you can make your drive inoperable.

After you`ve done that, get DVDGenie as was said earlier, it`s the mutts nuts.

Cheeky chappy!!

Imagine telling someone not to listen to me!!! You may incur the wrath of Aiwa and LG owners worldwide, as well as some friends from other brands..(Gettim Dukester and Clayts!)

Now, go on...retract your statement!

Jimbo, you`re my hero and the reason I`m a member of the DVD reviewer forums. Your thread about the 370`s hack brought me here :)

But...you have to admit that you know nothing about DVD-Rom hacks. I`m the king of this realm and as a true king I won`t retract anything :)
