Has anyone tried the NEW Firmware for the Pioneer 107?

Right! Yeah that sounds pretty attractive - Still a bit too nervous to de-virginify my lil' baby yet thou. Sweet tip.

 

still the ripping is at 2.4x, even with pioneer 107d hacked firmware. used DVDshrink. help

 

Does ne1 know if the flashman file that Preyzuess linked will work on win2k? The file says XP and I'm just wondering. I'm considering buying one of these drives and I'm doing a little homework on them 1st.

Good drive? Or is there one better?

Let me know before I buy, thanx.

 

I have no I idea if it will work on ME or 2000, but works fine with my XP and 98.
Are the Pioneer dvr 107d drive good?
Ya, I already have two on my both pc and I am getting a 3rd one soon.
It take of the ripping speed, I use Philips 2x to write it at 8x speed , and the speed of ripping of a dvd is great, less than 15min(30 with deep analysis)
it did not lose the quility as ripping at 2.4x.

 

I have just tried the link about to flashmans firmware for the 107D and it says cannot be found on this server, has he moved it or is the server just having problems?

 

I just tried it also, but no luck!

 

Here yah go, all the firmwares you can find

my 107d has the official 1.18 firmware.have tried a few of the flashman programs, but im told that the drive is not a pioneer and aborts.Can u please talk me thru this one..im a bit of a cabbage!!!!I was after the nx4all!!!

thanks

 

Talk about newbie!Ha! Okay, so I have a brand new OEM drive connected and all, I'm scared to death of messing things up in there, haven't tried installing any firmware as yet, this whole "region" thing has me worried sick, and I don't know where to find out what version my 107d is. Please, oh please, help!!
Is this a green bean should really be messing with?
And, Oh, thank you!

 

nsullivan....download dvdinfopro and click on the drive info button, itll give your current firmware, serial number etc.Together we can do this!!

 

Well hello Pieman, and thanks so much! I did just that and it show a lousy 1.10(and I just bought this thing!) DVDinfopro said right away that it had a 2.60 version and was I ready to install, and of course, I said no(the Pee-Wee that I am - I'm terrified of this thang!) So, now what??

 

I take it that 2.60 was the dvdinfopro version?If so thats the latest so dont be afraid,install it!!You will have no problem installing the official pioneer firmware from the pioneer site, but thats not what we really want.Im after the firmware that will let me rip at 12x,burn 8x on all 4x media.I just hope someone helps out there, but no one answers my posts!!Ive tried a few updates but they wont take cos they dont recognise my 107 as a pioneer.Ill try a new post specifically re this.

 

Good heavens, which of those bunch of files would be the ones to download from flashman? Man this is so way over my head! Thanks for your help, I hope you get some too! Let me know!

 

The Link has changed to

http://flashman.rpc-1.com/

Just been and checked just click on link which states Collection of firmwares. Now choose your drive makei.e.Pioneer, then click on your model number 106D,107D or 108. For Example if you clicked on the 107D you will see the DVR107D_Standard and the DVRA07XL listed. Now click on your model you have and a new Subdir will open up containing a further 2 subdirs containing the 2 folders called Official and Patched. Click on the patched subdir and all the latest hacked firmwares are there for you to download.

Grab the file ending in nx4all.zip as this is the one that unlocks your drive makes it region free, allows you to burn @ x8 on quality x4 media, the DVD ripping speed is now x12 and you can burn x4 on a branded x2 dvd-RW such as TraxData. Hope this has helped all the newbies out and possibly some normal/advanced users.

lol the time in the UK right now is 5am, ao I guess this is server is hosted in the USA

 

Hi and THANK YOU!! This is great, I will get right to it, just one question. There are several files that I can download, is the one you mention (nx4all.zip) the only file that I need to download, or do I need to do them all? I'm not sure what the others do, so I am really not sure. Many thanks for the info, it's a huge help!

 

The file you need to download is called
[bold]DVR-107Dv1.18-RPC-1+12xRip nx4all.zip[/bold]

Inside there are 2 firmwares under the names

[bold]R7100007.118/R7100107.118[/bold]<you only need to use both if you have a rebadged Pioneer. i.e. Pioneer internals but another manufactures Kernal(The Heart of the drive)

[bold]R7100107.118[/bold]< use only this one firmware mod if your drive is a true Pioneer drive[/bold]

Again I hope this is of help to all.

Cheers Jiggy......
