Excellent! But don`t thank me, thank Johan Eriksson for posting the hack and Jason Waghorn for having the foresight to try it on a Sammy... :-)

You can change the region something like 3-5 times, but a cold start will reset the counter (i.e. the player isn`t locked permanently). So don`t worry about the player getting stuck on R1 or whatever.

1. Did anyone already tried it on the Hitachi 305? :-)
2. Looks like this is a permanent hack, isn`t it?

It should work on a 305.

Just try using number 9 when you perform the hack to get the player auto region free (like the old 709 hack) and can somebody test macrovision on a 511/305.

Regards

John

I will do today evening and try to post the results at 20:00 GMT. Just wondering if someone already did that, I hate that _temporary_ hack for 305 (with macrovision still present)...

Supposedly if you set it to region 9 macrovision is removed, but if you set it to one specific region then macrovision is still there!

PLEASE WORK ON A HITACHI 305!!!!!!!

I had a quick go at hacking my 305 this morning with no luck - even following a coldstart. I can get the old hack to work no problems. Anybody been successful yet?
