	Region code hack posted by DOSlover, December 26 2005:
	Take a look at http://ilohacker.tripod.com/ with the autoeditor for ILO & Lite On Firmware files. It doesn't update the LP setting as that is a facility already available. I have tested it on the firmware file for the 5045 GDL+ and 5055 GDL+ (same file) with success being reported by the software in removing macrovision, with the regional code being decremented by 1. Good if you live in the USA. I haven't got my hands on a GDL+ unit and hope the remote control process of changing the region for the plain 5045 also works for these units. As I mentioned I haven't got my hands on a GDL+ machine yet so proceed with caution, or have a copy of the unhacked firmware available in case things don't go to plan.

GERMAN 1)Taste «Setup Menu» drücken 2)Cursor auf «EXIT» bewegen 3)Zahl «2960» eingeben mit «ENTER» bestätigen 4)Pfeil nach Rechts bewegen 5)Position «Codefrei» auswählen 6)Setup-Menu verlassen Player is now region Code-Free The above codes were copied/pasted from hacks posted here for other Lite-On players. It works!
