Page 1 of Dansai DVD-1010 upgrade needed

Been on the phone to the Tesco help line to get the filmware update disk, but there out of stock til next week. Does anyone know where i can download the update or can anyone mail me a copy of theres.

cheers

Did i mention how desperate i am for this

Yes, I know ... Tescos are out of stock.

However, a kind person on the VCDHelp forums sent me an image of the file. This will enable you to play VCD and SVCD. I hear that it also disables Macrovision, but I haven`t tried it yet.

You need a program like CDRDAO which supports Bin / Cue to write the image to CDR. The instructions will also be written to the disk!

E-mail me and I`ll send it to you: 42opoa[at]moc.xepip.lsd

Hi `Postcards`
I also have the same problem. DVD1010 sitting there plugged in to 240v
a pile of VCD`s and no firmware prog.
Would you be so kind as to help me as well?

Get the upgrade for the Dansai 1010 here http://homepage.ntlworld.com/camol121/1010upgrade.zip

Finally worked out why i couldnt get it to work. The way i got it working was to burn using nero, go through all the optionss to create a data disk then go to file, burn image, then choose the cue file, works a treat

Hi
You seem to know what you are talking about could you please help me out, do I need to unzip the file or something as cant get to even read the text file.

Thanks

Before I go out and buy one of these players, can anyone confirm that the upgrade works, and this player will now do everything. What about macrovision?

With regards to using that ZIP file...

Unzip it to a folder of your choice. You`ve got 2 choices here -

1) Go to www.goldenhawk.com , download CDR-Win and burn the CD (first icon on the left, browse to the .cue file and hit Start)

2) Open the .Bin file using WinImage (www.winimage.com). You`ll see in the Bin file two files - One is the instructions text file and the other is BANK30.ROM

RE Bubblegum... I`ve been reading up on this updated firmware (which I believe is a rip of the updated firmware being sent out by Tesco`s) and I am lead to believe it allows for VCD/SVCD playing and Macrovision disabling. If you open the BANK30.ROM file in Notepad and search for Macrovision, you`ll see a small section with titles like Macrovision AUTO, Macrovision DISABLE. I`m going to try it on one of the players at work tomorrow anyway.
