Minato EC-105B region-free hack

Many R1 discs play automatically ( well over 75% it seems)

Ones that come up with the "wrong region" screen can be made to play by:

Press the " Prog" button.

press 1 , 1 then go down to where it says "start" and press enter.

The film will then start

It leaves "program" displayed on the screen but you can get rid of this by pressing "prog" ,selecting "stop", then "exit" (they highlight automatically when you press "prog" again anyway).

Using this method you should be able to get any disc to play.. It will suffice until the multiregion hack becomes known.
