VX-8R & VX-8DE Mod


hello everyone,

i know this is an old topic but thought id share my experience


so i own a VX-8R (from U.S)  and a VX-8DE (purchased from the U.K) last night i decided to go ahead and do the Mars-Cap mod when i read on the forum here that there was a software mod too.


1) i can Confirm that the hardware mod works just fine with VX-8R. However, software mod does NOT work with the VX-8R  both before and after hardware mod.


2) The VX-8DE hardware mod works fine, you can only do the the software mod for the VX-8DE after you do the hardware mode, otherwise you will just get a screen with "C2" and you wont be able to select " *** " .


here's a couple of pics i took


Cheers and good luck
