-You have the 1.11 ver. Does it play DVDR
YES but only because I kept the original modchip.com chip alongside OrigaChip. It is the modchip.com chip that allows DVD-Rs to play, booted behind a larger TOC original (which can be PAL because of the OrigaChip).

-What kind of ver. of DVD region X or you using (pal, jap or ?)
PAL because that's what the OrigaChip does; it plays import originals. Sort of perversely, I can load a backup JAP DVDR-X behind the PAL one and a backup game behind that!

-Do you have any problems with originals or backups?
No problems whatsoever.

You may find OrigaChips difficult to find owing to the legal pressure being exerted by Sony on the manufacturers (Messiah and NEO4 have stopped production).

Now there is a new version of the origa (1.2 from 10th dec. 01)
I heard that the ver. 1.12 wasn't good, I hope the new one is ok!

Thanx for answering![/quote]
