Howdy all. I've been a fan for a while now but just recently registered to try to get some help. Anyway, I bought a Japanese fat PS3 without backwards compatibility. I want to change the region to US. I have CFW 4.93 and converted it into DEX to get to the debug options. I was able to change the O and X buttons to the US style easily, but even though I changed the region to US/NTSC for the DVD player it still won't play the DVDs. I've also used webMan to change the region from there and in multiman as well. When I look up the region it does say US/NTSC.
I copied the x.Registry.sys file to USB and opened it up with a hex editor. I believe it still says Japan on there. Could that be the reason why it still won't play DVDs? The line in question is: settings/parental/dvdRegion.j..../
6A A5 for the j. ASCII
I don't know much about the software side and need some pointers on how to change it using the hex editor on my phone (no PC).
I know this is risky to do and still debating. But nothing else has worked for me. Anyway help or guidance is much appreciated.
