![Hack Code For Pioneer Dvr Hack Code For Pioneer Dvr](http://www.njuskalo.hr/image-bigger/dvd-playeri/dvd-player-pioneer-dv-400v-hdmi-varazdin-slika-22364899.jpg)
I've got one of the first Pioneer DVR-103's that came with a Compaq in early 2001. It came with some kind of firmware that I updated with the Compaq 1.90 when they sent me an email about 2 months ago. I just learned I could 'hack' the burner with the 2x4all firmware, but no matter what I try, it does not seem to work.
The following region hack works on all new pioneer dvd players. Many people don't have a PDA or a Palm, so the easiest way to do a region hack follows: All you need is a motherboard with onboard IRDA. Most motherboards have an onboard irda connector so all you need to buy is a cheap irda motherboard adaptor ( check http://www.actisys.com/act210.html).
Then you have to modify some ini files:
1) Remove folowing strings from netirsir.inf:
%*PNP0510.DevDesc% = PNP, *PNP0510
%*PNP0511.DevDesc% = PNP, *PNP0511
and replace
ExcludeFromSelect=*PNP0510,*PNP0511,*IBM0002,*IBM0034,*IBM0020
to
ExcludeFromSelect=*IBM0002,*IBM0034,*IBM0020
2) Add to msports.inf to section [Std]:
%*PNP0510.DeviceDesc% = ComPort, *PNP0510, *PNP0511 ; Communications Port
%*PNP0511.DeviceDesc% = ComPort, *PNP0511, *PNP0510 ; Communications Port
to section [Strings]:
*PNP0510.DeviceDesc = 'Generic Ir Serial Port'
*PNP0511.DeviceDesc = 'Generic Ir Serial Port'
add
ExcludeFromSelect=*PNP0510,*PNP0511
to section [ControlFlags]
When you do this windows will recognise irda port as : Generic Ir Serial Port
If you modified the ini files and windows didn't recognise your irda port as Generic Ir Serial Port then remove the irda port and restart your pc. Windows will now find a new hardware (Generic Ir Serial Port) and install it.
