francis wu Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Got back a while ago and quickly put in a Cinavia affected disc and volla! no problem playing it :) This to me is money well spent alone! :) With Qdeo, the PQ is slightly richer in color tone and a tad sharper than the S790 but personally, I see it as a close fight, maybe the 450 winning just by a nose! :D Lots of stuff to try on with this modded player! At $380 including 5 x 25G and 5 x 50G (2D and 3D) BRs' plus a Monster 2.43m M2000HD Hyper speed HDMI cable, it's a good buy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanDon Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I'm looking for this player. Yesterday went to HN and Courts at Jurong Point and both outlets did not have. Any place I can get in Singapore besides Taobao? Taobao maybe my next alternative. What do you mean by 'moded'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CASH Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Very easy to mod this player with custom firmware. jus make sure u dont update to latest official firmware! If u find it difficult to do, then I can do it for u at a token sum of $20. Only catch is, u gotta bring ur set with remote over to my place in pasir ris ( my home ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyD1624705734 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Great! :) If you have SACD ISO, pls bring along too! :) Yes I have ... I bring physical sacd r and sacd iso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francis wu Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 I asked my friend in Shenzhen to buy direct from Taobao and delivered to his place. I collected it during the weekend when I stopped over for a couple of days on my way home from Japan and hand carried it back. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francis wu Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 So far, SACD ISO no problem, DVD audio-r playable but can't change audio selection (manual in Chinese, so got to ask wifey to interpret) so stayed tuned. Anyone with a original DVD Audio disc BR ISO also no problem! Tks DizzyD for the 2 discs to try out. Will do more testing and advise!

DizzyD1624705734 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 To be precise SACD-R playable and DSD appears on receiver Blu Ray 2D ISO playable from USB drive and FULL MENU Blu Ray 3D ISO appears playable with FULL MENU as Bro FW display not 3D and we saw warning message for transformer 3D ISO.

DizzyD1624705734 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I read the AVS thread and it interesting to note that modded BDP-450 can do the following: 1) Play ISOs for both 2D and 3D 2) Play BDMV folder 3) No CINAVIA 4) Plays SACD ISO 5) Plays DVD Audio ISO 6) Plays SACD-R (i.e. SACD ISO burned onto DVD) 7) Last but not least some of the above capability can be performed over SMB/NFS protocol in addition to the USB HDD. The issue now is which CFW does all the above. ;D Bro Francis' BDP-450 CFW is called DIAMOND btw. For those that can read Chinese well please look into the HK Forums that discussed this at length. I gathered that Russian AV forum also discussed this and have produced CFWs. But are there anyone that knows russian here? ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggie Howser Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Nice. Can we download the firmware from somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doggie Howser Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Scratch that. Just saw francis' post. Downloaded the firmware. Can source the 450 in Australia for about 383 bucks? How much is it in Singapore? Or from taobao? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CASH Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Diamond cfw is version 5 and above. the cracked firmware, which is free is version 4. the hacker that did this ver 4 firmware found out that the russians found a loophole in his firmware to make it free for all to use. he then made the ver 5 which has not been cracked yet. u have to pay to use ver 5. thats what i understand in the russian forums...

francis wu Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 See my first post on the pricing from Taobao! Note that the shipping is to my friend place in Shenzhen! For Singapore, u have to go thru' their agent here so not sure of the arrangement and pricing. Note, u have to get version 4 player before u can use the AVS CFW if u want to upgrade yourself!
