Martial Art Fans

For anyone with an interest or who just enjoys martial arts movies. I found a new site ( don`t know how new), called www.hongkonglegends.com. Clear site, good info, easy to use, good service (3days), good prices for logged on members, a good variety of categories and titles. However the sound track you can do without. let me know what you think and if you know of any similar sites.

Information required re R C E discs

I am fairly new to this dvd business so can anyone tell me what is an r c e disc.

RE: DESPERATE! Failed Hack on AIWA XD-DW1 HC (region 6)

As you can see we are not the only ones with a problem. I had tried nearly 40 times using the hack details on this site without success. I checked out the other site mentioned and found the details the same except another code i.e. 8,7,2,0.instead of 8,7,1,0. So armed with this I tried again, after about 12 tries with no luck I was about to give up. Being me and not liking to be beaten by a machine I tried again. Would you believe it it finally worked and you know what I have no idea why. However what none of these hacks tell you is if it works a message appears on the screen after you press the fast forward saying MANUFACTURERS REGION CODE SETTING OR SOMETHING VERY CLOSE TO THAT. That tells you the machine is now multi-region (I have tried it with region2 and 6 discs) playback. Hope that helps, I think perseverance is the answer, hope it works for you. Many thanks for taking the time to reply.
