Just run the executable and have a look at your temp directory and its subdirectories.

Basically based off of 2.17 without DL support of course. I'm assuming the difference between 1.38f and 1.38h in DVD+R format is the difference between bitsetting or not?

No DL support as awaited : it's a NEC 2500 clone, not an official 2510 clone.

Braxas is right, DVD+R is the newest I have seen on 25x0.

PS : DVD+RW is bitsetted too, so?

Hey ! he he... Thanks a lot again Quikee.

Since I have a lot of DVD+R discs and no DVD+R DL at the moment (only 1 burn since I have my 2510), I shall install this soon on my 2510 2.F8 for DVD+R newest strategies. I want to test DVD+RW bitsetting avaibility of this firmware too, since old HP firmware have no problems with DVD-ROM bitsetting on already formatted DVD+RW discs...

No difference in number of media and media speed supported between HP1.33 and MD2.F8/NEC2.17.

That is correct but they may differ in write strategies...
EDIT: Hmmm... Actually they differ in supported speed.... RICOHJPNR01 is supported at 4x... in 2.F8 at 6x... So I think it's not as good as 2.F8 No changes in write strats...

You're right, I miss it yesterday. RICOHJPNR00 too.
MD2.F8 = NEC2.17 = 6X, right.

Why the hell the DVD+R strategy number is higher then ? No changes in write strats, but different number... And same number for DVD+RW so it's not a bitsetting difference. NEC is killing me again with their numbers...
