Page 1 of Help with a Dansai 1010 CLONE

Hi,

I recently bought the Decca DDV 2130 which appears to be a Dansai 1010 clone (the handset hack for multi-region works and the factory settings page shows identical info - even version numbers).

Therefore, there shouldn`t be a problem updating the firmware on my 2130 with the Dansai 1010 one that allows VCD playback and Macro disablement, should there? Unfortunately, when I tried that now, the screen says `Disc Loading` for a while then `No Disc`.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Best wishes,
Jordan

according to tatung who make the decca 2130 there is no hack firmeware etc for it to play vcd i checked as i was gonna buy one

Thanks for your quick reply but, if this is indeed a clone of the Dansai 1010 (and I am 99% sure it is), shouldn`t the Dansai firmware work?

The virgin Dansai 1010 models in the shops can`t play VCDs or disable macrovision without the firmware upgrade...

Has anyone had any success updating the firmware on a cloned player with that of another (identical) model?

Thanks in advance!
