The region codes are stored in the internal microprocessor. You'd have to find a way to re-code the operating system.

It depends on the Blu-ray player. Some Blu-ray Players are quite easy to do by entering a series of numbers from the remote control. Others need to have the chip modified inside the player itself - and others are almost impossible to do.

Search the internet for the model you have and you should find an answer for that particular one. Or, if you haven't bought it yet, find out which is an easy one to do and buy that one.

You should have Custom Firmware(aka M33) to do this but it is nearly useless anyway.Completely shut down your psp and then turn it on while holding the R button and the Recovery Menu will come up. Go to Configuration and you should see the UMD Region option. By clicking X select your Region. PS: Does not work for UMD Movies.There is no way to play a UMD except the same region of your PSP.

A person can make their PSP multi-region by changing the hardware on the system. This may cause errors with games and issues with the warranty of the device.

A PSP bought in Portugal is an American PSP or a british PSP?

It probably wouldn't be either. US PSPs are region code 1, UK ones are region code 3. The rest of Europe has its own PSP region code, 4. So one from Portugal will simply be a 'European' PSP which in this context is different from a British one.


What is PSP 1004?

A PSP-1004 a model of psp. It is a 1000 series, and the 4 is the region code for continental + Eastern Europe. (The UK has a different code - 3). if you dont know what a psp is. so can i tell you its at portable playstation.


How do you know if your PSP is an American PSP?

If you look on its bottom edge, it will have the PSP's serial code. This will include 'PSP-X00Z', where 'X' is 1, 2 or 3 to designate the 1000 (phat), 2000 (slim) and 3000 (brite) series, and the 'Z' is the region code. If this is a '1', then your PSP is a US PSP.


What is the difference between the sony PSP 1000 and the sony PSP 1003?

Only the region they came from. This will determine what movies will play on it, as the movies are region locked (but the games are not). PSP-1000 is the general name for all PSP's of the 1000 series, as opposed to the 2000's and the 3000's. So a 1003, or a 1006, are all 'model 1000' PSPs from different regions. The region code will be printed on the bottom of the console. In this case, if the PSP has PSP-1000, then this is a Japanese PSP. If it has 1003, it is a United Kingdom PSP (Continental Europe has a different code, 1004).


Can a PSP 2000 screen go to a PSP 2001?

Yes, it should work fine. The number at the end is the PSP's region code, but both are types of PSP 2000 and the components like the screen should be identical.


How do you tell what model your PSP is?

There should be a barcode and some numbers on the bottom edge, right at the end is the PSP's model and region, ie, 100X, 200X or 300X for the model number, where the X is the region code.


Is PSP street 1004 and PSP 1000 same?

The number shows which model the PSP is, the final digit is the region. The original model of PSP, is PSP-1000. The 'street' PSP is 'E1000' not 1000, it is a slightly different model and is the last to be released, after the PSP-3000. It has the PSP-3000's updated screen, but has mono sound instead of stereo, and no wireless functions. The '4' at the end is the region code for continental Europe and India.


Is PSP 3001 newer then PSP 3000?

The number at the end is just the region code, they are not upgraded versions, just ones made specifically for different areas.


How do you change country on your psp so you can play Music Unlimited?

You can't, PSPs are region locked, and the region is hard coded into the PSP itself. You'd need a console from a compatible region, and even then it might still lock you out if it determines your connection is coming from an incompatible region.


Is the psp 3001 the same as the 3000?

The number at the end is the region code. PSPs are region locked, but this applies to movies only, not games, a PSP from one region can play any region's games, but it may affect any online use. PSP-3000 is the general name for the 3000 series range, but '3000' specifically is the Japanese regional model, 3001 is North America.


How can you change the region code on your Technics SA-DV290?

You can't. The region code was set at the factory for DVDs in the region in which the hardware was going to be used.


Will English PSP games work on an Irish PSP console?

PSP games are not region locked, any game will work on any region's console. Also, PSP games from England are just EU region PSP games anyway so are the same as you'd buy in Ireland.
