Page 1 of Macrovision off SC2000, DiViDo

(Posted 2nd time)

Hi,

I was looking for a multiregion hack for this Divido DVD and found out that the SC-2000 was the same player. I tried the hack from this site and it worked with the small difference; pt 4: the buttons (code) was not 2,0,1,0 or 3,0,1,0 but 4,0,1,0.

Checking the system status window shows the following;

ADV7172
Custom id DIV
Main ver 191
Nav ver 9D2
Sub ver C5
...etc

(The zeroes removed)

The question is; How to disable the macrovision?

Is it just to make the upgrade to 214 ?

Is there any risk of destroying the player when doing this?

(Thanks to xeno and NiVZ for the VERY good information in these forums!)

The upgrade to 2.14 will allow macro to be removed by entering the macro handset hack.Somw people have reported that they had to downgrade to 1.80 and back up to 2.14(these seems common with machines shipped with 2.06).

I destroyed my machine(presumably fried the eprom)installing v2.13 but that was a unique situation as i was the first to try untested firmware unfortunatly.As far as i know there has not been a case of anyone killing their player by installing 2.14.

You can find the hack instructions and other information in NIVZ`s F.a.q

Ohh, yes !!!

Now I can turn the macrovision off, tried yesterday with a reg 2 movie.

The DiViDo is a SCAN SC-2000 from now on ;-)

Everything works fine so far...

Thank you xeno and NiVZ (for the FAQ).

From a happy Urb.
