I have a pioneer dvr 108 firmware 1.06. My OS is windows 2000. My question is whether to update my firmware to the new pioneer 108 version 1.19/1.20. I am not having any problems with my burner and am in two minds as to update or not. I have heard a lot of horror stories after people have upgraded which makes me a bit cautious. But then again I do want to get the best out of my burner. Has anyone else upgraded their firmware for the pioneer 108 to v 1.19 or 1.20, and if so was it successful or did it cause trouble. I have been told that once you have upgraded then you can't go back to the previous firmware so would like others opinions / experiences on this before I decide. Thanks!
this is the best option! depends on drives! for firmware to go backwards thet are all different! usaully hack firmware tools allow this! my drives have hacked firmwares, but i dont mind if i kill my drives! its very easy to do! kill a drive that is
Here is a good site to check out firmware and possible problems. I also have hacked my Pioneer 106D for better rip speeds. As Rotary stated I don't worry too much about killing a drive. I've been waiting for this one to die so I have an excuse to upgrade to dual layer. No big deal either way. This link should give you all the info you may want on firmware. http://www.rpc1.com. Good luck. Jerry
