Many people get confused over this. When removing RCE protection with IfoEdit you must set it to the region the disk was intended for. This is not the same as the region setting of your player.
In other words, if you have a disk made for region 1, and a region 5 player, you select region 1 in IfoEdit.
IfoEdit allows you to set more than one region - this will result in no playback on any player. This will be changed soon, I hope :)
What happens is IfoEdit searches the virtual machine code for references to SPRM 20, which contains the player region code. It then changes these instructions to use the constant value that you select. This fools the code into thinking your player is the correct region.

Yes, it will be changed in next version!
I've exchange the check-boxes against radio-buttons, to avoid missunderstandings in future. :D
