Es### and the writer was from office world I think its a philips in disguise

The Philips writer will be the problem. They are not fully compatible because, unlike Sony, (at least this is my reading), Philips don't want their product to be too easy to use for copying things!!

Anyway, send me your address by e-mail (link in my profile) and I'll send you a copy of AR2/1.7 that boots. Bear in mind please that I've tested it in the following way because I don't have a dongle:

SCPH 15000 (JAP)
OrigaChip to allow PAL originals to boot
DVD Region X (PAL original)
AR2/1.7 backup boots to can't find dongle message. So that's a GO to me.
