I am having some dificulty doing the hack for the apex 1500ad. I got as far as making a whole new screen saver for the player, and building a .bin file to flash the rom. For some reason i cant get the vb runtimes to regiser properly in win xp. Can someone help. Here is the link to what im talking about ===>http://www.dvd-wizards.com/darrenk/Backgrounds/Background.htm.. Also I would like to know if anyone has found out about hacking CDRW drive firmware so that they can burn dvdrs........
