Pioneer 578A reading DivX

[victor_javier]

Hi!
in my country, some stores are selling the Pioneer 578A DVD player with a new firmware that enables it to read DivX and Xvid CDs.
Does anybody know where can I find this new firmware?
Anybody has tried it?

Thank you!

That's probably the firmware of the 575 (US retail). I've read the 578 isn't always the same hardware as the 575 but when the hardware is the same it can be updated with the firmware version of the 575 without any trouble.
The place where the firmwares are found is this:

This is the board for the discussions those guys have on the alternate firmwares:
