Philips DVD 580M player multiregion hack and firmware check

[gef]

I finally succeded making my Philips DVD 580M player multiregion with the following hack (after many tries) :

With the "Power" button of your DVD player :
Switch off your DVD player (if it's on)
Switch on your DVD player.

The hack really starts here :

Push "Eject" (DVD player button)
Push "FTS/Program", "1", "3", "5", "6", "0" (with DVD remote control),

The following message appears "CHANGE REGION AS XXXX" (I did not pay attention if it appeared
before of after pressing the multiregion 0 code)

Then push "stop" "stop" "stop" "stop" "stop" (with DVD remote control) to make it permanent.

A message "CHANGE REGION AS 0" appears.
It's now working ! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D :devil:


To check the firmware, do the same operation
replacing "0" by "8"

By the way
"0" : all region
"1" : region 1
"2" : region 2
"3" : region 3
"4" : region 4
"5" : region 5
"6" : region 6
"8" : check firmware (a message givin firmware version appears on your screen)

hope it will help !
