unsupported by OPPO. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
This will make the player region-free for DVDs, but not for Blu-ray.
It is a tiny bit of software that has worked on every OPPO Blu-ray player so far. Some use it (I have not) and find it to be trouble free.
Follow the directions closely. It must be copied to a CD-R, not a burnable DVD. Save the disc because you may need to install it again after a firmware update, although I can't remember the last time I had to do that.
You load the disc, it waits a second then ejects the tray again. That's all: it's done.
