Well alexnoe, it isn't in this time LG put bitsetting on this drive. I am becoming afraid LG will not put this [*Profanity*] on this drive, and i will need to downgrade to 4120b

Disc Type: DVD+R
Book TYpe: DVD-ROM
That's what my Nero CD Speed 3.40 reports with a YUDEN000T02 disc burnt in a 4120B@4160B.A302 firmware. I tried only A302 with Nero CD Speed and Nero Burning Rom 6.6.0.0.

Let's see if it was because of the modification or because of the new firmware.

There's a dialoag, yes. This is a PRODISCR03 8x DVD+R.
Here's a CDSpeed-created YUDEN000T02 8x DVD+R.
I set the shown disc type in Nero CD Speed to show the "Book Type" value instead of "Disc Type" value.

Same disc. I have only SOHW-1613S@1633S now because every other Lite-On DVD writer I had was replaced with 1613S.
After KProbe-scanned.

Hi,
I don't understand why a drive 4120b flashed with 4160b firmware (a302) can do bitsetting and a drive 4160b with same firmware can not ?
Either the firmware was patched (where can I get it?) or its a hardware issue and 4160b will never can do bitsetting.
Anybody out there having a 4160b with bitsetting ?
I suppose LG w'ont bring out firmware supporting it.
Yps

If it fails i'll upload some aspi-spyware so that you can create some log files for me :p It's long. I have two drives attached here: LG GSA-4120B@4160B A302 firmware and Pioneer DVR-108 1.14 firmware. Command line in a Windows XP window should report the same? I used "CMD" inside Win XP SP2 though I had to boot using a Win98 boot disk to flash the 4120B to 4160B. Quote: C:\firmware\LG>cd bitset_commandline

I think if A302 does not support bitsetting officially, LG will release another firmware that does eventually, sooner or later. It's been at least five years since LG started selling DVD writers and it was only with GSA-4120B N0AD LG-inside firmware that LG first supported bitsetting of any kind in around April, 2004. Public release was even a few months later than that. That was a decision mainly based on market trend.
You can get the firmware from TDB and you have to send an email first as explained in the 4120B@4160B thread.

They are at least very similar.

It's stock A302 with a patch applied to run on a GSA-4120B. Certainly no bitsetting patch.

To see if it makes difference, I tried going back to Nero 6.3.1.25. There's also an Options button to allow me choose between a few. A little different from the one in Nero 6.6.0.0.
Automatic
DVD-ROM
Physical disk type
Current recorder setting

Maybe the hack done to enable the flash over the 4120 also opened the doors to bitsetting. So Anyone up to try the 4120-to-4160 on the 4160 ?
Other possibility is that the 4160 hardware is not so similar to the 4120 and its hardware don't realy support bitsetting , if that is possible.

Other possibility is that the 4160 hardware is not so similar to the 4120 and its hardware don't realy support bitsetting , if that is possible.
I'm inclined to think 4120 and 4160 are identical in hardware. For 4160 not supporting bitsetting sounds impossible.
If you have a GSA-4120B, you can try it yourself. From my tests, all DVD+R discs I have burned in 4120B with firmware from N0AD to A302 TDB have DVD-ROM book type. Nero CD Speed "Create Data Disc", Nero Burning Rom, DVD Fab... all write DVD+R as DVD-ROM, unless told otherwise.

Well , that is would be good news.
So , maybe the hack to enable 4160 firmware to the 4120 "cracked" bitsetting lock.
Would be nice to try this firmware for the 4120 in the 4160 to see if it enables bitsetting in it.
I own an 4160 and with the 302 I got the same results as Chicobyte.

Perhaps there is something in the EEPROM or the CORE portion of the firmware. We'll take a look when we get some time.

So... 4120B@4160B A302 (by TDB) is superior to 4160B A302?
I'd like to get a real 4160 and another 4120 to test further, but then if I could afford them, I'd rather first get ND-3500A and DW16x0.
