My DVD-ROM is locked on Region 1. And DVD genie and DVD region killer cant change it, becasue its the actual Drive which is locked.
So does anyone know where i can get the firmware to reflash my drive? Its a Pioneer DVD-ROM DVD-500M.
I tried a few search's but just cant seem to fin the firmware for my my model. Anyone able to help?
Much appreciated.
They offer good service and very good prices. The delevery is some times a little slow but it does come from Jersey and the Royal Mail isnt the most effecient service.
Order nearly all my things from there. Some of the best prices on the net.
I've ordered it from there. I ordered Shrek at the same time and Shrek came today. I ordered it Sunday, Shrek was posted monday and Fast And The Furious on tuesday. Hopefully get it tommorow.
Cheerz for the help anyway.
I'll just have to play all my region 2 DVDs through my PS2 now. From now on I'm only gonna order region 1 DVDs anyway. Got The fast and furouis through the post today :D
Tons of links on here. I remember I was looking for DVD hacking stuff. Becareful with firmware as if its not updated correctly it will ruin the drive. Also if you have any RCE region 1 movies if you dont have the DVD set as region 1 you wont be able to play them.
I bought Final Fantasy Spirits Within, which is RCE. I tried to find software that could play it and it couldnt play. I had DVD genie and by accident set the actual drive to region 1. It played fine. I've kept it at region 1 as I dont use it for any other software DVD's. If you want to use region 2 just use powerDVD and then use DVD genie to change it to region 2.
I would recommend only updating the Firmware if you know what you are doing and have done it before, or if its really necessary.
