IT CANNOT BE DONE

So don't keep asking

Its about time this was written in stone so as to speak.

I personaly used BLOOD

So can the Pioneer 106 & 107 be upgraded to dual layer writing then?

I have to disagree with the statement above in saying that:

1/ It can probably de done (but by Pioneer ONLY). HOWEVER the DL quality will probably be absolute crap, because the drive was not designed for dual layer burning.

2/ If such a firmware is EVER released, IT WILL HAVE TO COME FROM PIONEER. ASKING THE FORUM OF THE PATCHERS TO PRODUCE ONE IS POINTLESS.

WE CANNOT PRODUCE A DUAL LAYER FIRMWARE FOR ANY DVR DRIVE,
ONLY PIONEER CAN

If you insist on seeing such a firmware, talk to Pioneer. That's all.

Flash,

I know some people can get under your skin and make you very angry but I hope you understood that nathane was joking?



Ahhhh, so what are you trying to say? hehehe sorry just kidding.

I mock those who continously ask and insist that it can be done even after you make it clear that it isnt logical that Pioneer would do it, or that flashers can not do it, unless they work for Pioneer? lol

How you been anyway?

After doing a spot of reading concerning the rated mW of the laser in the x8 series vs. those that have come before and adding to this the greater focal precision required of the hardware - I have to agree with >NIL here. I don't think its all that reasonable to expect a "good" resultant if somebody outside of Pioneer does manage it. Its a similar situation to the 451S@832S LiteOn escapade - sure, it works - but put it next to a real 832S... still a joke as far as I am concerned and you begin to see the tolerances and problems inherent of hardware limitation.

We can always dream - and some young ambitious type can give it a whirl I guess. If they can pull it off, all the more power to them I suppose. I just wouldnt be caught dead trusting anything to a patch of this nature.

Anyways - how have you been >NIL? ^_^

When I purchased my DVR - 107D the salesman told me that the PIONEER Techs had UPGRADED a 107D to burn Dual layer.

BUT They will never Release it!!!!!!

They did release it as the DVR-MCC, but the DVR-107D cannot be upgraded to the DVR-MCC.

Pioneer have presented the first drive dvd r Dual layer in a evente, i think cbit in april or may of 2004.

Pionner said that the drive was a pioneer a06 drive with firmware modified.

Read the first post and use SEARCH.

What you can read there still counts.
