Mod for Sony DVP-NS305 - Here it is!

[ Other Replys ] [ Reply to this message ] [ Return to Discussion Forum ] Posted by Josh on February 10, 19103 at 11:05:08:

I am really excited, I have just hacked my Sony DVP-NS305 using a Palm Pilot. Forget the UK rip-off 50 pound or US$70+++ mods - spend US$100 on a palm pilot, do the mod yourself and then you get to keep the palm pilot! Better still do what I did, find a friend with a palm pilot to help you.

This is how I did it.

I used a palm pilot with omniremote software. The software can be obtained from the following URL:-

http://www.pacificneotek.com/software/OmniRemote.zip

I also used the pre-made file:

Sony_DVD_hack.pdb

from:

http://dev0_2000.tripod.com/

Note that the pre-made hack in this file does not work for the 305! I tried it first and it did not work for me. You need to use the codes below.

Any palm pilot will do. Create a new section for the DVD player and create 5 buttons. Number the buttons 1 -> 5.

Use the advanced->databases [export category] to export the data to memopad. Sync you palm and paste the data into memo pad form.

Button name-1
0000 0068 0000 0015 0060 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 01AE
Button name-2
0000 0068 0000 0015 0060 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 01F6
Button name-3
0000 0068 0000 0015 0060 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 01F6
Button name-4
0000 0068 0000 0015 0060 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 01C6
Button name-5
0000 0068 0000 0015 0060 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018 0018 020E

Resync your palm and then start omniremote. Use advanced->databases [import category] and import the updated config.

Note you can also key the numbers straight into memopad if you want (I did it this way as I used a friend's Palm and he didn't have his sync cable).

Then copy the power button used elsewhere in the pdb file into the screen you have just created as for the 305 you need to press the five buttons then the power button for the mod to work.

Use the power button to toggle the DVD on and off to check correct operation of the software / Palm Pilot.

Next with the DVD player in standby (no disc) press button 1 -> 5 either once or twice in turn e.g. 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5 or 1,2,3,4,5 (in the excitement I forgot which way I did it!). Then press the power on button. If it has worked the DVD player will switch on and show "SUCCESS" on the display. Then press the power button once more and the hack is done.

It is interesting to note that after I got the "success" display I tried to play a R4 DVD and it did not work. However once I powered off then on again from the front panel the mod worked - funny you had to reboot for the changes to take effect - very MS!

Congratulations, you now have a hacked DVD player that can play multiregion disks.

I have a region 2 Sony DVP NS-305 and I have tested with region 4 DVD.

Good luck and spread the word - Sony is hackable!!!

Now onto Macrovision...
