Angry Computer DVD - Region 2 only! HELP!!!

Is the region code in the hardware? - Or is it installed in the software that runs the DVD film & how do I get around it?

Machine is LG GCC-4320B DVD 8x ROM and CD ReWriter

Cheers

region code is usually in the firmware of the drive and it is quite possible you can flash the firmware to make it region free.

You might want to search on here to see if they list a firmware patch.

Another piece of software that does the same thing is AnyDvd by SlySoft. Work really well. No need to worry about regions any more
