Hello…
i got a liteon 851S drive… (GS0F)
and used to use Verbatim discs DVD+R 1-8x (MCC 003 00)
have been thinking about getting a new 16x burner, so i therefor bought some discs that supported 16x. In my case i bought the next “model” from the same producer as i used before; Verbatim…
GS0F firmware supports MCC 001 00 & MCC 002 00 & MCC 03 000… and NOT MCC 004 00… BUT it still recognizes the MCC 004 00 16x discs… but only as a 2,4x disc…
So i thought i just grab the latest firmware around, GS0P and then it all be good… no… the GS0P has support for the same 3 MCC’s (001/002/003), but NOT the MCC 004 00… and instead of recognizing it as a 2,4x disc as GS0F would, it does not even see any discs… it reports drive is empty…
so i started searching around, and very quickly stompled on this forum (very nice forum)… wich suggested i use Omnipatcher & EEPROM_Utility-3.0.4, to apply MCC 004 00 code manually… i tried, but the drive denied being flashed with firmware older or the same as present firmware… so i got i hold of the flashfix utility… but this does not support binary files, ONLY the packed .EXE file from liteon… so i tried to use MediaCodeSpeedEdit.exe to add MCC 004 00 to the list, and save it as GS0P_speedpatched.exe… then i load it through flashfix, to forcefeed the same firmware as present in drive… success… but after reboot, the discs are still not recognized at all!
ok i thought… then i go back to the GS0F firmware, and patch that, to fit my needs… no luck, after adding MCC 004 00 on GS0F, it STILL recognizes it as a 2,4x disc…
then i thought #### it… i simply just force ANY entrance to atleast allow 4x burning… thinking that whatever entry MCC 004 00 would use, would return a minimum 4x burning speed… NO… its STILL ONLY 2,4x… now im kinda lost… unless someone has a way to make omnipatcher spit out .EXE’s instead of .BIN’s… or using a 5th tool, to make binarys to executeable flasher…
anyone suggestion is welcome
PS: when i say adding a entry of MCC 004 00, i really overwrite another entry!
