Page 1 of There HAS to be a hack for this one! - Decca DDV 2130

Hi everyone,

Recently bought a Decca DDV 2130 from Kwik Save. Lovely unit, played DVDs and MPEG-1 data CDs perfectly (no VCD support but that`s OK) and could be made multi-region with the handset hack for the Dansai 1010 (Setup, FFD, Prev, Next).

Then I got a little greedy and tried to enable VCDs using a firmware for the Dansai 1010 and the unit completely locked up. Took it back for a replacement but they only had the next model up; the Decca DDV 2141. It`s a lovely unit as well as has nice DVD playback... but the region hack for the 2130 doesn`t work so I`m stuck watching R2 DVDs. :-(

Decca don`t strike me as the sort of company that make their own hardware so I`m guessing this is a clone of another machine... and therefore has a hack available somewhere. I`ve tried 90% of the hacks listed on this site but none of them do anything. Can anyone help?

It would be much appreciated in this run-up to xmas. I`ve got quite a few Region 1 discs stocked up to play over the holidays...

Thanks in advance... and seasons greetings!
