Hi, i am looking to buy a cheap(ish) DVD reader which is capable of Ripping at speeds faster that my current asus (2x). I can nt find the firmware to unlock my Asus to faster ripping speeds so i am no seeking an alternative drive. Does Anyone have any suggestions??
Hiya gaz_0001, I don't understand why you are having trouble with your ASUS DVD-E616p, as it is an OEM Pioneer DVD-121 clone drive.... It should be reading WAY faster than 2x... Is ASPI installed correctly? Is the drive set to UDMA? If you need a firmware for it to turn it into a Pioneer drive, look at: http://pioneerdvd.rpc1.org/ Have Fun....
Hey DR Chips, ive got it reading at 6x now, i found the cracked firmware for it on the net, it now starts at about 1.8x and goes rite up to around 8x!!
