Hey all,
I'm curious about the differences in firmware versions on the Samsung N501. I obtained one of these recently with firmware version 53, which seems to be a more-recent version than the v51 update file that is available on this site.
Does anyone know the difference between the later firmware versions? In particular, I cannot get the "own remote" region-free hack to work. Reading on some threads here, it sounds like people have had mixed success with this hack, and I suspect it was because it was removed from later firmware versions. Does anyone know of a correlation?
Is v53 the last version that is known? Was v51 the most-recent version that an downloadable update was available for consumers?
All in all, I picked this up in order to play T3k and music CDs with the VLM, so I'm not actually annoyed, but I was hoping that I could eliminate another component (my Apex all-region DVD player) from my home entertainment system. Alas.
Thanks,
