    MATSHITA SR-8585 1w29 firmware

    Hello,
    I found a firmware to update my MATSHITA DVD_ROM SR_8585
    for region free (got only one region free left).
    This firmware is supposed to be lauched in MS-DOS mode.
    My system is Windows ME and does not have DOS anymore, or I
    cannot get to it.
    Does somebody know a firmware that could be launched in Windows mode? Thanks for any suggestion.

    There is no way to flash firmware to this drive without using DOS. There are instructions for doing this here:



    Note that the only patched version is 1X32 available here (assuming you have a PC, not a Mac):



    All other versions are "official" (=region-protected).

            ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM Drive F/W Download Ulitlity DWL2.EXE Usage
            -------------------------------------------------------------------
            Usage: DWL2 <0-3> <F/W file name>
            0: PRIMARY MASTER
            1: PRIMARY SLAVE
            2: SECONDALY MASTER
            3: SECONDALY SLAVE

            Ex.: DWL2 2 A.BIN

            You can't use this program on "Windows DOS Prompt".
            Please execute on Real-DOS mode.
            

            if you can't understand what this says then buy a drive that can be flashed
            with region free firmware, aftre all that old drive isn't worth 5$
