Mechamaniac Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Just curious, does anyone have the Official Emotion R2 release of DYRL?. How is it compared to the FX bootleg quality wise?. Are there any special features? etc? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit29 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 I have it. Its more or less the same as the FX. Same features. Same menu. The video/audio quality is close. The only difference really is that the R2 version has the Bandai/Emotion screen and the Toho filmes logo at the beginning. Theres also more of the black screen noise before Britai speaks in the R2 version. When you play the R2 DVD its goes right into the movie unlike the FX version which takes you to the menu. The R2 version comes with two Macross postcards which are used on the backside of the FX DVD cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechamaniac Posted January 22, 2004 Author Share Posted January 22, 2004 Kewl, thanks. What are you using to watch it?. Do you have a region free DVD player?, or did you hack your DVD ROM drive?. Any problems with watching it on a standard television?. Shouldn't be as the US and Japan are both NTSC, but just checking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DVD is NTSC. It will work on a standard US TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Payne Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 (edited) Just for my $.02: If you're looking for a good, cheap, region-free DVD player, look for any Region 1 CyberHome DVD-300. I've got one (got it so that I could get a R2 copy of DYRL myself--Although it's expensive, the R2 version is the only way to go ), and it is extremely simple to change to all regions without a mod chip. And it's only about $40. Edited January 22, 2004 by Pat Payne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Cyberhome(my wife has one that is hacked) and Daewoo DVD( I have 2 that I hacked) players are region hackable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the pic of the box from Amazon Japan. Notice it's pretty much the same as the FX box, just with the official Emotion logo at the bottom right. Amazon Japan lists it for 7800 Yen, which is $73.51 before shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JELEINEN Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Region free decks are easy to come by. The problem I had last year when I was replacing my old machine was finding something that had Macrovision disabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, it seems that out of all the cheap easily hackable DVD players out there, the one I got was NOT one of them. The Cyberhomes are really easy, but I have a Mintek, 1600, and noone knows how to hack anything but the Macrovision on that one. Ah well, gonna buy a nice region free player anyway come tax season.
