Frikkin Toshiba Firmware

[Deadcal]

I just need conformation about whether the Toshiba SD-M1612 is unfirmwareable, cos if so, im a bit screwed. I went on reports that there was firmware available, then when Im about to Flash it and double checked on the net, a load of sites come up saying the latest versions are uncrackable, AARRGG!

check this site

This site has firmware for the two revisions. Haven't tested it myself yet though:

Hi Deadcal,

All you need is the soft "DVD Region-Free".

It allows you to watch all region DVDs on your region-locked DVD drive.

You needn't hack DVD drive (flash firmware) which is sometimes dangerous, useless or unavailable.

DVD Region-Free also disable region check for popular software-based DVD players such as PowerDVD, WinDVD and CinePlayer.

Other features include Region-Free for RCE DVDs, Macrovision-Free, Operation-Free, Direct-Play main title and run self at DVD players startup automatically.

You can download it at http://www.dvdidle.com/download/DVDRegionFree12.exe

Best Regards,
Fengtao

I successfully flashed my Toshiba SD1612 revB to a RPC1 drive with the firmware from the firmware page.
