How to make DVD-ROM region free ?
If your drive is locked, DVD doesn’t play and you can’t change region code or bypass protection using described methods, then the last & only working solution is to “patch” your DVD-ROM drive, and replace hardware region code protection mechanism. It’s a dangerous method, which can be used only by PC professionals. If you live in the USA or Canada (R1) then you most likely won’t need the ability to play DVDs from other regions, unless you are interested in some of the rare titles that are out in Europe (R2) but not in the USA. If you live in Europe and you prefer to watch the movies in English then most likely you have to flash your firmware (in order to buy American DVDs). Load another firmware which disables the region code protection. This is ONLY for advanced users! Step 1. If you’re unsure about the type of the drive I suggest you run driveinfo. Download DriveInfo program from this page: http://www.remoteselector.com/driveinfo.htm In case of ASPI error you have to install forceasp
