I meant the hardware. the zone stuff is in the firmware of the hardware DVD player, and when you're using a 'proper' soft to correct it it acts over the hardware player but under the software you use to read/play DVDs. I have a ton of different players (soft) and the DVD hacks would work with them, but they don't work for my hardware, because it's too recent and the code hasn't been reverse engineered for it yet. That's what I meant, that's why making it work can variably involve finding a bypassing software thing that works (like dvdregionfree) OR finding a replacement/hack firmware/bios flash exe, a more risky procedure (none of them were aviavlabe for my rpecise model of player last time i looked, ie a month ago)
