As many of you know, Oppo was forced to remove ISO file playback from their BDP-93/95 players a couple of years ago. This was done with firmware update 64-0119. One thing about Oppos, they are not supposed to be able to revert back to a previous firmware version, thus making it impossible for players with newer firmware to be "downgraded" to older firmware.
I just came across these instructions for those who want to restore ISO playback to the BDP-93/95 players:
STANDARD/BASIC MOD: 1. Disconnect ethernet, and any USB devices and power up the player with no disc in the tray. 2. When it displays "no disc" wait for approx 4-5 seconds, and press GREEN-2-2 on the remote. 3. Press "setup" on remote. 4. Scroll down to "Device setup" 5. Place the bar on "Firmware Upgrade" 6. Press RED-8-5-2-0 on the remote. 7. Exit menu again by pressing setup button, NOT the ok button. 8. Now you can downgrade the firmware with the use of a usb stick, just follow the usual instructions from Oppo.
PRO MOD: 1 Disconnect ethernet, and any USB devices, and power up the player with no disc in the tray. 2 Press "setup" on remote 3 Scroll down to "Device setup" 4 Place the bar on "Firmware Upgrade" 5 Press RED-8-5-2-0 on the remote. 6 In this menu, press 1-1-4 on the remote. 7 Exit menu again by pressing setup button, NOT the ok button. 8 Now you can downgrade the firmware with the use of a usb stick, just follow the usual instructions from Oppo.
NOTE: ===== I never updated my firmware so that I could keep ISO file playback capability. Therefore, I have not tried this fix. However, reliable sources tell me it works...

As I posted, I have not upgraded my Oppo's firmware - having ISO playback is *important* to me. Do let us know if this works for you. It would be nice to be able to slap on the newer firmware for problematical discs/newer features and then revert to the older firmware in a few minutes to enable ISO playback...

PS: The only bummer about this (if it works) is that it de-values my BDP-93 on the secondary markets.

I had to upgrade mine to fix some issues I was having with certain discs. If I try this, I will report back.

you could always downgrade the firmware, there were a few different options to do so. Though this new way is much easier lol

Is it possible to downgrade the BDP-93 from an EU-firmware to an US-firmware?
