Hi Sorry may have missed the post explaining where to find the hacked firmware to burn dvd's at over 4x. could someone please tell me where to get it. Thanks
Most hacked firmware can be found here. Just use their search and enter your model. http://www.rpc1.com. Jerry
Hi Just found this thread and i'm not sure if my drive is patched. My firmware version is 1.08... does that mean i got the RPC1 and 12x ripping ??? I've checked nero info tool and it says its still RPC11 and 6x ripping ??? Please Let me now what you think !!!
When unlocked, the ripping speed will still vary. Single layer dvd-5 will usually rip up to 12x maybe 14x. Dual layer dvd-9 will rip around 6x to 8x. I use dvdinfopro to check the region setting and speeds. Region on mine shows N/A now, no region number. If you need to download it. http://www.dvdinfopro.com. Nice little tool for checking firmware version, media brand and manufacturer, etc. Jerry
Hi My drive is still saying RPC-2 My firmware is 1.08 (Official I Think) Is there anyway i can revert back to the Hacked 1.07 Have tried flashing to 1.07 (Hacked) but it says my firmware is the latest version ??? TIA
PrepJim, I don't know which model you have. Here is the link to ALL the Pioneer firmware. http://pioneerdvd.rpc1.org/ Jerry
does this hacked firmware support the booktype bitsetting? if i change it back to the stock firmware, will it burn booktype or support it? or is it possibel to change this firmware to burn booktype?
Hi I don't think so. I'm sure i tried something with DVDInfoPro about booktype's and it said Pioneer's don't support this feature. (Almost 100% on this matter)
This is the one I used for my 107, http://flashman.rpc1.org/Firmware/PIONEER/DVR-107D/DVR107D_STANDARD/PATCHED/ I used the one dated 30th April 2004 with the DVRFlash.zip. Had to change the target setting though as it wanted to update drive G: and my 107 is drive E: Installed easily enough and burns everything at 8XSpeed. Rips with dvd decrypter at anything up to 12XSpeed. I know, I've done it.
hi use the hacked firmware on my pioneer dvdr 107d, it burns my philips(2x) up to 8x speed, how to you unlock the ripping speed using dvdshrink, or DVDDecrypte?
Just upgraded my Pioneer 1.07D to Firmware version: 1.18 as it supports the following. [bold]Change Log[/bold] DVD-R Writability Improvement DVD+R Writability Improvement DVD-RAM Playability Improvement CD Playability Improvement DVD+R DL DoubleLayer Playback Implemented (NOT Record) Until they bring out a hacked firmware for Revision 1.18 which supports all of the above, makes it region free forever, can write x8 on x4 media(I use Ritek), can write x4 on dvd-RW media and supports the faster ripping speeds from 2x up to 12x as in revision 1.16 I will sit and wait.. [bold]Another point if the drive can read and playback DVD+R DL DoubleLayer media, then I can't see why a hacked firmware can't be released to allow DL DoubleLayer Recording @ x2.4 speed. A similar firmware hack came out on the NEC.[/bold] So I place a challenge to see who can produce this first. Greetz Jiggy
kaledrr, If you used the proper hacked firmware for your drive, the speed is already unlocked. No need to set anything in your software programs. You can check by using Nero speed check or DVDinfopro. Single layer movies should rip up to 12x speed, Double layer will rip around 6x speed. Speed will vary somewhat so don't be worried about seeing that. Jerry
G'day, I've been hunting around for the unofficial hacked firmware for 107D but the links don't seem to work or the site http://www.rpc1.com. has been moved elsewhere. Can anyone link the 1.08 update or e-mail it to me? Cheers. _
