Firmware 105 Pioneer

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 Oriphus,
Can I have your old 105 then?
How much?

Cheers....

 

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.

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...

 

Yeah, no worries mate.

 

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.

 

sabrelord....where did u get the 1.30??ill be buggered if i can find it!!!
