This Hack for Targa 5100x WORKS
OK Guys Try This;
Go to this site http://www.targa.gmxhome.de/frieschalten_des_regionalcodes.htm
Download the file kpjct19_1.dvd to your Desktop.Make SURE this file is named EXACTLY this way if not rename it. Now create another folder on your desktop called
RMTM0000 inside this folder create another folder called SCARLET . Now copy the
kpjct19_1.dvd file from your desktop and paste it into the SCARLET Folder.
Now burn the RMTM0000 folder to a CD.
After this is finished place the CD into your Targa Player and close the door. You will get a screen telling you the unit is on region 2 select 0-6 to change. Select 0 and press pause button to save. WALLA Enjoy all Movies.

RE: This Hack for Targa 5100x WORKS
Works perfectly
Thanks . Just a thought does this alter the Eprom Screen with the PAUSE 1472 function , never thought to check before I applied the Hack . Can anyone confirm this , might be an alternative way to hack , or to reset machine if it needs to return to manufacturer. Anyway Brilliant Hack
You can get the same hack without doing all the folder thing from http://www.math.uga.edu/~djb/html/dvd.html and download the file FreeZoneLG6053.exe. :)
RE: This Hack for Targa 5100x WORKS
The hack does indeed work perfectly
Dont change the file name you download from the tatga site or it will read as a bad disc Thanks to all who helped make the iceing on the cake......for me anyway :)
The second thing is the pause 1472 Eprom screen is not affected and reads the same before as it does after ,after reading the post from canarge i did check just to make shure
Again thanks to all who made this possible i think it would be hard to find a better machine for the price

Hi there. Ive tryed your solution on making my targa multi region, but i dont understand how to do it.
I downloaded kpjc19_1 but im not sure what RMTM0000 & SCARLET are?. Are they programs? If so were do you get them from?
Would be great if you could help me out.
