As regards to the mentioned gdr8163b not working,i cant understand all of this, that doesnt work,this doesnt work.
I recently had that fujitsu siemens drive(exactly the smae firmware) in a fujitsu siemens tower and it worked a treat!
I think maybe that drive in particular must of had a problem,as far as 8161b,8162b,8163b and the 8164b i dont think i have found an lg,or(oem version) i.e dell hp etc that doesnt work as long as it has had the right gdr number written on the drive they have worked for me!
Crossflashing the drives can only be done in dos,yes there are a few patched flashers out there that allow flashing to oem drives(not pure lg's)but safest is through dos.
The only model you cannot crossflash in dos are the 8164b all the other drives are flashable in dos changing to whatever working version you like

Also in my experience i wouldnt pay much at all,(certainly not £50 like they sell for on ebay)for any version of the GDR 8162B,this is terrible drive for long term reliability.
The GDR 8161B is a better drive as its not so hit and miss with relability.
The best drives are the later ones, 8163B 8164B these drives are the slowest,but for a good reason,to prolong there reliability/lifespan!

How long will it take to burn the image to a dvd? I ripped it in about 2 hrs and when I copied the image it only took about 5 minutes.I am waiting for my chip to arrive in the mail so I cant test it yet, the image did come out to be the right size, 4.37 G. I just want to be sure I have a good backup to test my chip.

Couldn't believe my luck, went to fix my mum's old computer (was on vista and v slow so put it back to XP) and the old writer didn't work. Looked at what both drives were, and the DVD-ROM (which did work) is an LG 8163B! So taken that home!

I have found one on the LG site, but I want to know if this firmware update wont affect my Wii/GC dumping? Any ideas?
I did not update my LG drive and I was able to rip SSBB. What error did you get when you tried via Friidump?
??? NO response? I have the LG GDR 8163b from a Dell Computer... its the 0D20
Did Friidump every load the name of the game etc.. The only time I got an error using friidump, rawdump was when my computer was low in memory or the disk was dirty, scratched. Once I cleaned the memory on the computer or the disk everything worked fine and no errors. Not sure if that will help you or not but just check it..

Hello,
I read all the informations about the GDR-8160B drive, so, is it works ?
I tried to update it with the latest 8161b firmware (using the approppriate utility, flashup.exe), > no results.
Even if many people had say that it doesnt't work, I think this drive can copying wii game because before crashing (You have a faulty drive), we can see on rawdump : wii disk detected.
Please, is anyone know how to use the 8160 for it works ?

Quite a lot of drives report wii disk detected...
Doesn't mean it will work though.
GDR8082N0C07 Works - 1300MB/HR via USB 2.0
dumping in about 3hrs 25 mins
GDR8160B0018 Doesn't work
dumping nothing in 0 minutes!

http://www.cheeverind.com/parts/CRD-8162B.aspx
I dont think this is a typo, if you search for the GDR-8162B it is there also:
https://www.cheeverind.com/parts/GDR-8162B.aspx
There is a $11.60 difference in the price, as the "GDR"-8162B sells for 40.60, I'm not sure about shipping, it didnt say it was free, so it must be calculated upon checkout.
I have sent an email to the contact person at that website asking if he knows what the difference is between the two part numbers, I will post his response when I get it.
Ok, update about this:
I received an Email from Brendan Cheevers stating that the CRD was a typo, and thats all he said. So, I decided to search both GDR and CRD and see what the difference was besides the price, and I found that the CRD is $29 and it states the manufacturer is IBM. The GDR-8162 is $40.60 and states the Manufacturer is DELL. I went ahead and placed an order for the typo "CRD"8162 by IBM for $29 and found that ground shipping is FREE, so I will find out if this is a working unit for rawdump or not, if so, then thats a GREAT deal for $29 shipped, compared to the 50 + on ebay for these things.
I should have it in a few days, and will be able to test it and I will post my results then.
What was the outcome does it work or not
Thanks
Sorry it took so long, but I received the CRD typo and it is the GRD 8162B, it works great, and for $29.00 shipped, thats a great deal.
It rips in under 2 hrs. and they play perfect.
WoooHooooo.............

for the 8082N 0C11
Very impressive...
You could try the 0C07 Firmware...
from http://tdb.rpc1.org/
The capabilities look identical....
Also I posted the dell 0120 firmware link...
You could try this.. ;-)
1. Do all these drives have the HL-DT-STDVD-ROM prefix in windows?
2. Are the GDR81630F21 and GDR81630F22 missing a "B" in the model #?
3. As for all these firmwares that you are trying, which ones are the best for each drive? I see you've had some experience getting 8082s to work and flash. Is the IBM 0L03 the best for the 8082?
4. Do you have any speed results for these different drives and firmwares?
I'm sure everyone appreciates your efforts! Thanks for sharing!

Any updates on the H10N? You posted yours work perfectly, can you post all the details of the drives including rip speeds, full model number, brand, interface. So far you are the only one that has replied these work for sure, so details would help.

I have several GDR H10N's but only 2 with the 0B10 firmware(the only firmware i have found and tested with every possible games i could!)
What we need is someone who can get a flasher to read the correct part of the GDR H10N's firmware.
I have done alot of tyesting and fiddling lately trying to get a way of backing up the firmware correctly,as the maximus toolbox in my opinion does not backup the correct part.
So all the people everywhere who have posted there backups of the GDR H10N 0B10 with this program,bin it its useless!
I have booted into dos with the latest LG Sata Flasher and it states this is not a .DLD file,so i just changed the file extension in windows to .DLD.
I retried flashing,then the flasher said this is not a .DLD file!
I then opened(in hex editor)a genuine .DLD from the GDR H20N deleted all indexes in there then cut and pasted the indexes out of my GDR H10N 0B10 firmware into the blank H20N .DLD saved it,then tried flashing that.
The flasher started alot better than previous even went through detecting my GDR H10N revision etc,then right at the start of flashing said yet again this is not a .DLD file!!!!
basically if you ope up all lg dvdrom genuine .DLD firmwares 8161b 8162b 8163b and the GDR H10N there file size is always 263kb and when opened in a hex editor the firmwares ALWAYS start with the name of the device the firmware is for!
When opening 0D04 0B10 0L01 firmwares from my own GDR H10N and other peoples using maximus toolbox 4.6(xbox firmware program)the firmware size is always 256kb different from lg's
Does anybody have any idea who to read,manipulate whatever firmwares so we can all get alot cheaper dvd-rom,s as these must be easier to get as i have a few All are 2007 march and 2007 may!
Just an idea.

Hi UOU,
1. Do all these drives have the HL-DT-STDVD-ROM prefix in windows?
Yes
2. Are the GDR81630F21 and GDR81630F22 missing a "B" in the model #?
Ignore this one, think the drive was iffy, test just before the drive died...
3. As for all these firmwares that you are trying, which ones are the best for each drive? I see you've had some experience getting 8082s to work and flash. Is the IBM 0L03 the best for the 8082?
OC11 does seam to dump quicker than the others for some reason
0C11 is HP/COMPAQ's version of the firmware
Add 0C07 as a GDR8082N
Also GDR8082N0120
4. Do you have any speed results for these different drives and firmwares?
Sadly no...
I'm aware of other version of firmware for the GDRH10N that work, its not just 0B10 - but the forum that had these posted on has died...!
I'll see if i can find it in google cache somewhere... ;-)

All the GDR 8162B drives I've had over the years (and I've had a ton) have been very reliable. Never had one fail. The GDR 8162B is the fastest and best ripping drive out there IMO.
The GDR 8161B drive is an older drive. Stick with the GDR 8162B drives for better ripping. The GDR 8164B drive is great too. Very reliable. Yes, it's a tad slower than the GDR 8162B drive, but it's very reliable and makes great backups. You can't go wrong with either a GDR 8162B or a GDR 8164B drive.

Use any of the "LG GDR" drives (your 8163 should work fine) and Friidump to dump DL SSBB. Then you can use any DL burner to burn the iso with IMG BURN. Go to the "ssbb seeding, d/l, posting thread". All the info on SSBB is there and might be of more help.

I already tried, but it finishes at the middle, in other words I have an image of a SSBB with only 4.8 what else do I have to do for this entire process? Let me know, thanks.

On the GDR81630F21/0F22, were these 8163B or plain 8163? Why ignore? Didn't they work?
Also, do you have a link handy for the HP 0C11 firmware?

Were these tested by you, or is it from posts elsewhere? As of now, I gave you credit. I just hope the info is reliable.
