"Official remote question"

Does anyone know if the new DVD driver requires the Sony remote or can you borrow the disc off a mate and use your old remote?

Whooooo!

Cheers Mr. Coates and humpo - all sorted now!

In my eagerness to get it working, I'd not followed the instructions on the Region X website fully. Now I have, it works a treat, with the 2.10 drivers.

You're absolutely right about the version Region X displays, Mr. Coates - this obviously indicates the on-board version of the driver, and not the updated one. (Incidentally, mine is a launch PS2 and the version on-board is 1.20E)

Have to say, though, that it's a pretty poor show by Datel that you get no instructions with the DVD Region X.

Now... if only I can stop my dedicated Sony DVP-S725D player from switching on when I press Play on the PS2 remote... :-)

Not a problem fella!

Get over to the dvdregionx page and follow the instructions (TO THE LETTER).

You've probably noticed that there is a version number in the top right when reg x boots up (probably 1.30e).

Enter the codes for the 2.10 euro remote as per instructions and reg x WILL work (I've done it).

You'll notice however that the reg x version number won't update despite you having done it.

I've consulted datel about this and it's been confirmed that reg x will still display 1.30 despite ACTUALLY being 2.10.

mail me if necessary

Just a shame that DVD Region X doesn't work with the new drivers.

Which 'old' remote are you talking about?

I know for a fact that the joytech remote does not work with the Sony receiver unit.

It's worth getting the updated driver and although I can't confirm it right now, I'm sure that there was a pic of the Dual Shock pad in the remote manual (which made me think that you can access the 2.10 features with the joypad too).

plus the v2.10 DVD drivers require 2 mb of memory card space

i think, ( but i might be wrong )the supplied disc will update features only available on the official remote anyway...so unless you have the official remote, the v2.10 dvd drivers are useless
