### FX3 / FX30 (Japanese Version) English Unlocked - MacBook Pro M1 Pro - LINUX VM (VMware Ubuntu - Needs Root)

: I have created a telegram channel specifically for this, so it's easier for people to ask questions and help each other. You can join using this link:

https://t.me/+XkprnDnLFoxlNmQ1

**NOTE:

  1. This works on FX3 / FX30 and should work even if your device is not on the "Supported Devices" list.

  2. Works on MacBook with Apple Silicon

  3. It DOES NOT NEED any extra Sony Camera Drivers

  4. It DOES NOT NEED PlayMemories Camera App

  5. This is literally a copy-paste method. If you follow the instructions, there should not be any errors. Way easier than the Windows method or anything else.**

**-------->

  1. Install the free trial version of VMware and create a UBUNTU VM (YouTube for instructions) on your Mac.

---> Choose the ARM version of Ubuntu

  1. Open terminal. Use the commands below:

[ "sudo su" -- This is the command that will get you into the root directory]

Commands In Terminal:**

sudo su

sudo apt update

sudo apt install git

sudo apt install python3-tk

sudo apt install python3-pip

NOTE: incase of an error while installing python3-pip - use the following -->

sudo add-apt-repository universe

sudo apt update

sudo apt install python3-pip

git clone https://github.com/ma1co/Sony-PMCA-RE

cd Sony-PMCA-RE

pip install -r requirements.txt

sudo ./pmca-console.py serviceshell

Hi! Just got a second hand FX3 and it's NTSC locked. I can't work with it here in Spain, so searching online I found this as the closest solution to unlocking PAL mode.

Did anyone manage to solve it with this method? And also, how do I connect the camera to start using all the commands and everything?

Thanks in advance!
