RE: Help me please!!!

Toshiba are offering a few machines which can be upgraded by firmware disks when things change (like RCE)

Sorry dont know the models but if you want future proof then you might have to pay a bit more for it.

RE: Anyone know about the new region locks from the US ?

Are you talking about RCE (Region Coding Enhancement)???
It all really depends on what sort of player you have???

This is found on new disks like R1 Patriot, it involves barring players which have auto region select.

I believe the bar can be easily overcome by placing another R1 disk in the player first, and then ejecting and putting the RCE disk in afterwards.

However dont be discouraged, most modified players are unaffected by this anyway. Plus a lot of American players are also refusing to play RCE disks, so at the moment it isnt a problem.

Fortunately as soon as a problem arises the hackers find a way round it.

RE: ntsc/pal hack?

Regrettably there is no hack to get pal from a US player. You will have to make an upgrade by buying something like a NTSC-Pal converter from someone like lektropaks.

The reason this is so is because the yanks dont have any need to watch any of our disks cos they were out on R1 ages before they made R2.

Unlike us pitiful lot who have to order our disks from around the world and thus have to be able to play NTSC as well as Pal.

Sorry mate.
