Page 1 of My DVD-ROM drive is locked in Region 1...

Hi folks,

My Pioneer DVD-114 drive on my PC is locked in region 1 (I played too many American discs before I learned about DVD Genie.)

Is there any way I can unlock it again with some firmware patch or something? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Doug.

Hi there,

As I`ve said before, `There`s always someone that will get around something`. DVD-ROM`s aren`t an exception, there is an RPC-1 firmware for your machine: -

This is the latest version (2.06) for the Pioneer DVD-114 (IDE 10X/40X);

NOTE: - You must use a pure DOS environment, NOT a DOS shell. If you are running an OS that can`t leave the normal GUI(i.e. NT) then get a boot-up disk. And always READ the readme file.

P.S. You do this at your own risk though! Not that any (to my knowledge) have ever gone wrong!
