    Hello all,

    I have the creative labs 12x set and I am wondering if it is possible to use it to play multiple regions.

    I have tried to update the firmware but it didn't work, any help would be appreciated

    I am also using the dxr3 card to output to the tv.

    (Mountjoy-Mugger-a quick google got the answer)
    about region killer from Requirements
    You will need a region free DVD-ROM drive. Region protected (RPC-2) DVD-ROMs will not work, except the disc to be played is not protected with the CSS copy protection system.(RPC-2)

    This is the problem

    Region Killer is a little utility that makes most DVDs multiregion. It also works for RCE discs.

    Have a look at http://www.elby.org/RegionKiller/english/index.htm

    It might do the trick for you.

    EDIT: Just saw your reply. I thought it wouldn't work on my Toshiba SD 1102 - it did. Worth trying anyway. It's less than a meg in size.

    Download drive info as well.
