Holla Folks,
well i searched over the board but only found one thread where a morron requested the oem firmware..
i hope there is no thread that solve my problem allready but i really searched..
sooo well
I have a external DVD-RW Drive from Buffalo... its called buffalo dvsm-pn58u2vb!
But DISCInfo and Drivermanager show me that the real manufacturer is Optiarc and the model is AD-7585h.
So the Problem is that i used to live in Region 4 and now moved to Region 2.. now i have a lot dvds from both regions... well i could use a ripper - but i don't want to rip a dvd before watching ... to much work and time!

also i know i could buy a second dvd drive

but i like (if its available) to go the "dark-way" - i payed enough for all this orignial dvds!
So the questions is: is there a "hacked" firmware out there for this device? so that i can flash the device and make it region free? :/
Greets and best regards!
