The Firmware Page

First thing i need than are some new DVD-R.
At the moment iv'e got only one Brand and that is already supported.

the 8x on the 4x disk

was the RICOHJPN R01

Hi guys ,got on these drives coming.
Is there a firmware available that writes ritek GO3 at 4x(minus format)?

I knew they would go 4x without problems(very decent graph),anyway I'd appreciate any info as to wether a patched firmware is available to do this.

I'd try myself but coding and me wouldn't go well(not got a clue where to even start,I'll leave to you guys with the know how) and would prob write my drive of at the first attempt.

I am really looking forward to getting this drive as seems to have alot of potential,on a footnote can do do karaoke discs(cd+g).
Anyway fantastic work (those of you whohave created media patches) you really know how to get the max out of these drives.

hi guys i finding not the hexeditor for the firmware ,I want to edit it if the burner broken go I stop bech had, thank that
her the firmware for the order gave

To Answer Some Q`s:-)

I would love 2 put all my time into the Firware, but i have a very hectic lifestyle and also Mod another Forum so i dont get much time, thats why i posted the tutorial for u all.

Yes - 2x to 4x works great on my riteks inc the + format 2.5 to 4x but as stated dont go any higher it does cause alot of probs.EKK

4x to 8 mixed reaction?...Works on the BRANDED disks, but not 100% of the time. so far id say 70%.

RWs - and + a no go for speed change.

As for downloads, no i will not b responsible for blowing up peoples drives LOL!....
I will do a speed change for all the disks in the Firmware, but plz dont ask me to add media codes i dont now how?. I can knock em out and replace but not add. lol..

I was suprized i even started hacking this firmware and went 4 it myself. But it was worth it. Its only Money and i "LOVE a challenge".

PS: I want to see graphs, to see how the 2.5x - 4x and the 4x - 8x go on other Media Brands:-) Good Research.

Sweet,gonna give this a try on tuesday(when drive comes).
I'll get various media so at least I can give some input.
Thanks again

Pacy;-)

pacman very very thanks you the best,pacman I thank you which you it again clean-placed here you am a
genius
my enlish is miserable

@ Pacman
I compared your modded Firmware with the Original.
You opened my Eyes how to modify the DVD-R types.
But can't we go higher with the DVD-R Speed ?
There seems to be a Hardware identical Type of Burner, and this
one is able to burn DVD-R with 8x Speed (Norcent DWD840-N).
Also, how can we get new Media types into the Firmware ?

Yea u can go higher, just change the 06 to 1E but this drive is a 811`s and dont do 8x "-" format as far as i know?. Id like to know if it can b done, oww that would b a nice HACK!.

As for adding in New Media codes i havnt got a clue, im trying to sust it out.
I can knock one out, then put another in, Sorry

That is a LiteOn/Drive box re-labled, surely?.
Why not?, looks possible for us 811`rzz. We need the Hardware Boyz on this one?. Can we have the 8x "-"?.

iM GONNA try something out?...UP the Speed 4 the DVD-R`z and see what happenz. Give me 10minz..A Challenge hahaa!

Regards
Pacy;-)

Up the speeds to 8x for the "-" Format on all media codes, but the drive is not able to burn them at 8 only 4.
Ow Well, worth a try lol.

The news is it is a LiteOn LDW-811S. Norcent say's a firmware update will be available when the 8X -R specification is approved and the media is available.
Carl

Ahhaaa so it is.

Pacman:-)

OK worth a try.
Sadly there is no Firmware available on Norcent's Site.
That could give us a BIG Hint.
Just a matter of Time.
I think when the first 8X Media is on the Market - there will be a new
FW.
At the Moment i'm satisfied with the Results so far !

dONE aNOTHER 4 aLL...

Please use this at your own risk, i have changed all writting speeds 2 allow
8x on all media DVD+R/W DVD-R/W.
But DVD "-" at 8x is a no go but i do believe we "MIGHT" see it for all us 811`s Users.

On me M8ts Site, Yet again.

hi

i find is strange that the original firmware HS0E [*Profanity*] up my speed table.

the original firmware did a 4x burn on my 4x DVD disks (Traxdata)

now my new firmware on the nero 6.0.0.28 does only 2,4 or maximum...witch is a 8x burn on a 4x disk
where is my 4x option... not that i need it !!!

Thats the way i also thought to bring in new Media Types.
Overwrite the Old ones wich are only max. 2X Speed.
@Pacman do you have the older Firmware Flash Program HSO6 ?
Maybe looking into that would help to find out how to insert more Media Types without overwriting ?

Do you think modifying the 411 FW would let it burn at 8x ?

fastflasher do u have a link to HSO6 ??

After googling i found a link with the older Firmware.
Don't laugh - its a Chinese site i think but the link on the site is in English.
Here : http://www.mydrivers.com/dir80/d32034.htm

Compared it with HSOE - definitly less media codes at the same offsets.
But i dont have a Clue how to get more codes in without changing the File Size or wrecking the whole File !

Nada - the 411 FS0F has got EXACTLY the same Media Codes as the original HS0E.

So the max Burnspeed is NOT determined in the Media Codes.
End of the "little Dream of simply overclocking the 411".

thanks for the link i'll take a look dont think i'll find anything more than u but worth looking u never know hehe
