"All-Region DVD X"

Has anyone got tha Datel All-Region card and disc yet? Cause I am tempted to buy it but I think you have to load the disc everytime you want to watch a region 1 movie!!!! Not sure though????

Hi there, i got a region x yesterday also.
Tellah: When you say 'it doesnt play true rgb' do you mean its converting it composite signal?

Here was some problems i had anyway
If you have an early ps2 (launch i spose, like mine) then it doesnt work right away and and directs you to there web site where you will see some codes you have to enter. (about 50 characters)
Now, i dont (at the moment) have any region 1 dvds,
so what i tried was selecting region 2 and playing one of those USING A RGB SCART and it worked in colour!
Cool, so now i can keep my old grey ps scart lead plugged in all the time, get the best possible picture for games, and get colour dvd playback.
One problem once i hit restart to try another dvd, it reverted back to green and i had to reboot the disc
and enter the long code. Hassle.
So now, what i need to find out is, if i had a newer version of the dvd drivers, would it just need the code entered once and then just remember it? My version is 1.20E. Anyone have a later version?
And my last question is, do i risk f@$kin up my dvd drive if i coped someone elses system and to a memory card and replace mine?
Im sure that wouldnt work, but im gonna try and find out today.
Thanks, any help appreciated

Tried it last night. It doesn't work with true RGB :-(

But it does play DVDs from any region :-)

i think the web site could be something like d3.com
have a look around the special reserve site they may have a link to it somewhere
best of luck paco

Do you have tha e-mail, or the web page?
thanks a lot!
buy the way at mexico GT3 could be bought from july 8, so I buy it, and its so great!!! PLAY IT"""

I just got mine through this morning. I'll be very happy if this is true, so I'll try it later and post tomorrow. I've got a feeling this may be false though because I thought it was a hardware thing..

i think detel are working on it at the moment
a new zealand web site (where i am from) sent them an e-mail to see if our nz ones would work with it and when they are released here in nz and datel thought we were on ntsc system (witch we are not) and the reply e-mail from detel said they should have one out soon
hope that helps
why dont you e-mail them an they can keep you informed

Do any one know if the Zone X works with the US version of the PS2, or just de UK or japanese version, because I've got it, and I want to make it multiregion so please help me so I could buy it, or just wait!

I was just reading on an austrlian site that you can use rgb leads with the region x key and you get no green screen, has anyone tried it?

there is some info on it in the latest SR mag.
an ok region 1 uk site is:

That's pretty cool. I have my PS2 connected through a true RGB SCART lead (i.e. green screen) but I know Logitech do a cable which connects via both RGB SCART and composite video (full colour). You can then switch between them using the input selector on the TV remote.

I may invest in both and get me some R1 DVD's!
