EP35 Region Free ---------------- A kind soul sent me the region free firmware for the EP35 this has now been tested and it works. Just want to say a big thanks to Viking for all his help on modifying firmware and helping out forum members. NOTE: This region free firmware requires 2 restarts. It is for the EP35, not for the EP30. The firmware is built on the EP35 version 1.3, but can be applied onto all versions, including 4.0. Re-apply version 4.0 after making it region free. Burning advice: Try using this free burning software: ImgBurn Burn the image at 1x speed (Be sure to use a CD-R or a CD-RW) ----------------------------------------- What to expect during the update: Just to report for those who are a little unsure about doing this kind of stuff: Downloaded the image and used ImgBurn and burnt at 1x speed onto a CD-R with verification left on. Popped it into the machine, prompted on screen asking do I want to update - pressed "Yes". The machine went off to do it's thing (took what seemed like a fair while so don't panic) When finished it shut down and ejected the disc. Powered up by the remote - and I think it's important here to make sure you leave the disc in the tray at this point (Kingfats? Viking?) as after it had pulled the disc back in another short update appeared to happen before it shut down again. Powered up the unit via the remote and removed the disc, popped in a region 1 dvd and Robert's your mother's brother! ----------------------------------------- RCE HACK 1) Turn on player 2) Open tray, put disc in tray but donīt close 3) Push T.search on remote 4) Push 1, 3, 9 and "Region number" (e.g. 1 for US discs) 5) Push T. search on remote. You will see TEST on your player 6) Press PLAY on the remote When player is turned off, this setting is cleared.
