Newest Features to this version:The "Enable Blu-ray 3D-only disc to be played on 2D display" option.
This is notable as its robust function and the obvious advantage it
brings to users. It's a common sense that Blu-ray 3D-only disc is only
permitted to be played on 3D display. From right now, Passkey users will
have the freedom to enjoy Blu-ray 3D-only disc on a 2D display
identical to a 2D Blu-ray with Passkey 8.0.2.7.
The newly added "Hide PS3 update files" option.
This is also helpful especially for PS3 users. If the firmware on their
PS3 hasn't been updated to the latest version, when they use it to play
the Blu-ray disc including "PS3 -UPDATE" folder, they will be prompted
by a message telling them to update their PS3. It's annoying. While
Passkey 8.0.2.7 can hide such PS3 update files so as to ensure these PS3
users a happy and smooth using experience.
The support for new Java-based protection.
Referring to this new function, we need to mention an Italian version
movie -- "Le Avventure Di Sammy". This is the sole movie we discovered
being protected by a new protection based on Java till now. In order to
fulfill our aim to meet every user's need and serve users better,
Passkey did much researching work and developed a method to move this
new Java-based protection out of "Le Adventure Di Sammy" soon after its
release.System Requirements:
Windows7/Vista/XP/2000 (32-bit/64-bit)
Pentium II 500 MHz; 256 MB of RAM
A DVD Drive
