The disc was packaged with the European DVD Remote Control (SCPH-10172). It's designed to install the version 2.10E of the DVD Player on PS2 memory cards.

On the dark side of the force, this disc (like other Sony Utility Discs) is also known to be one of the most over-protected things made for the PlayStation 2, featuring MagicGate encryption, massive CD Checks, XORed proggies and stuff...
For educational purpose (also for the challenge, for the fun of it, for great Justice or for whatever you want), copy protections have been bypassed in some hazardous ways.

Before you download/burn it, you must know that it does NOT work on Russian consoles :( . It's only for European console (MagicGate is racist).



TROUBLESHOOTING (IF THE INSTALLATION FAILS) :
- If you have a modchip, turn it OFF during the installation.
- If you have a previous installation of the DVD Player or any "BEEXEC-DVDPLAYER" folder on your Memory Card, delete it manually then try again.
- If you are using a 3rd-party Memory Card (non-Sony), try with an official Sony MC.
- If your console is not an European Console, you can not install this firmware.
- Clean the disc.
- Burn another CD-R.

DOWNGRADE PROCEDURE (WHEN PS2'S DVD PLAYER IS HIGHER THAN V2.10) :
After installing the DVD Player 2.10E, locate the file "dvdplayer.id" in the folder "BEEXEC-DVDPLAYER" of your Memory Card. Open it with a text editor.
You should see "2.10E" inside. Replace "2.10E" with "9.99E".
This will force the console to execute the firmware you've installed in your MC (the 2.10E) instead of the one contained in the console's erom.
You can do this with uLaunchELF.


*** NEW IN THIS HACKED BUILD ***
- Bugfix : Now the installer is able to delete previously installed firmwares and does not crash.
- No more N/S commands for CdReadKey & CdDecSet
- No more ByteWise against the package header
- The packed FW is sucked and loaded in it's KELF form

I've uploaded a new build (see the 1st post for infos and download links). The new A2 build is close to Perfection. Because the install program skips some decryption threads and treats the firmware in its KELF form, it's now super stable. I made many many tests with different PAL SCPH-xxxx4 consoles and different Memory Cards and saw no bugs, just like the original disc.
Except for stability and bugfixes, there is nothing "new" in it. It is the same DVD Player (version 2.10E) without "improvement".

This new hacked build is also available in the "[7 in 1] Sony Utility Discs Compilation 1", if you want to save your CDRs.

Best regards and merry Christmas to you all.
