Yes, I know ... Tescos are out of stock.
However, a kind person on the VCDHelp forums sent me an image of the file. This will enable you to play VCD and SVCD. I hear that it also disables Macrovision, but I haven`t tried it yet.
You need a program like CDRDAO which supports Bin / Cue to write the image to CDR. The instructions will also be written to the disk!
E-mail me and I`ll send it to you: 42opoa[at]moc.xepip.lsd

Finally worked out why i couldnt get it to work. The way i got it working was to burn using nero, go through all the optionss to create a data disk then go to file, burn image, then choose the cue file, works a treat

Before I go out and buy one of these players, can anyone confirm that the upgrade works, and this player will now do everything. What about macrovision?

With regards to using that ZIP file...
Unzip it to a folder of your choice. You`ve got 2 choices here -
1) Go to www.goldenhawk.com , download CDR-Win and burn the CD (first icon on the left, browse to the .cue file and hit Start)
2) Open the .Bin file using WinImage (www.winimage.com). You`ll see in the Bin file two files - One is the instructions text file and the other is BANK30.ROM
RE Bubblegum... I`ve been reading up on this updated firmware (which I believe is a rip of the updated firmware being sent out by Tesco`s) and I am lead to believe it allows for VCD/SVCD playing and Macrovision disabling. If you open the BANK30.ROM file in Notepad and search for Macrovision, you`ll see a small section with titles like Macrovision AUTO, Macrovision DISABLE. I`m going to try it on one of the players at work tomorrow anyway.
