Hi there fellas, I have a 105 dvd writer and I really want it to copy at a faster rate than 1x. I have tried a 1.33 firmware update and that didn't work. Currently using firmware 1.30 and windows 98 plus Ritek overprint and Arita 1-2x media. All suggestions would be greatly received. Thanks
Did you use the RPC1 version of 1.33 or the official. The official is locked out for ripping, the RPC 1 will allow ripping at faster speeds. Check my wesbite and downloads in my signature for more information
I downloaded the 1.33 firmware from your site Oriphus. Which pioneer writer do you have and what operating system are you running it on? I have heard a lot of users use 1.33 with no probs, mine gave me a burnout. Does your 1.33 burn ritek yellow overprints or aritas at 2x and also does it burn 4x dvdrs at 4 speed. I really need to upgrade as waiting 1 hour to burn a DVD is really starting to piss me off.
Im afraid i can no longer answer those questions. I dont have my DVR105 installed anymore, but instead use a Pioneer DVR107. Sorry
hey sabrelord....i note you say you tried 1.33 firmware but are now using 1.30!!!Can you please let me know how you reverted before i go mad!!
Are you in the UK? They are selling for around £60-£70 on ebay which is where i was going to list it. It depends if you wish to spend that much, or just go the extra bit further - £45-£55 - and get the DVR107. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2781353761&category=3754&rd=1
Yah, in the U.K. (Norfolk actually). But NO WAY would I pay Ebay price + postage, way too high. My local supplier of kit (where I get 1-off Trade prices) can sell me a New 106 for £80 inclusive, and they are only 5 mins walk away - makes £70 + £10 postage from Ebay look a bit SICK!! Sell it on Ebay, grab the money and be thankful. Byeeee...
pieman to revert back to firmware 1.30 i just reflashed it with 1.30 frimware. It is risky though as if there is a power cut as your flash it you can kill the drive.
I usually look for firmware upgrade/downgrades here : http://forum.rpc1.com/ Can't answer specifics on Pioneer 105 as I have the 104 (f/w 1.40)
WHAHAY!!visited rpc...eventually found the 1.30 firmware and bugger me it worked!!!Ha...saved meself 100 quid...thanks yet again!!
hahaha - ur not admiting to supporting spurs are you. After me keeping it quiet all this time. Ah well, you;ve got balls :-D
