plex 12/10/32A - firmware 1.04 myth??

[spike56]

Hi Diss,

The thing with firmware 1.05 ist this: Models with low TLA# can be downgraded to firmware 1.00 (you can find this number on the topside of your plex). Some people say, that with firmware 1.00 - 1.04 you can copy Safedisk2 protected games. Higher TLA`s (like 0306) cannot downgrade below 1.05 and only few can make perfect copies of SD2 ("perfect" means, you can use them in any other drive). For all other copy-protections, it doesn`t matter which firmware you have, you can make perfect 1:1 backups.
Regarding SD2: Only Philips and Phillips-based writers (like Acer) can make perfect copies of SD2
