I ordered my Viper-Extreme and it has not come in yet. I was planning on using GCOM 2.2 or GCOS 1.5. Have you guys tried any of these BIOS? maybe it is just the Cobra v1.2 that has this problem.

I myself have not tried the GCOM 2.2 or GCOS 1.5 due to the fact that... I could not find them on the net... lol

I would be willing to try them if i had them i suppose. The Cobra v1.2 only has this problem because it is not yet compatible with the Viper Extremes functions. It still allows playing of DVD-R backups.

If I was pointed in the direction of these two BIOS files then I would try them.

Let us know if using GCOM 2.2 or GCOS 1.5 works better with Viper-Extreme?

Tested all BIOS's and here are my finding's

GCOS would work for some of the functions but not all and would not boot many games (booted only 6/10).

GCOM played funny tricks and would not allow much to work

Cobra works for all backups I have tried but does not allow any other function to work.


Conclusion:
As the Extreme is new it is really beggining to show in it's capaibilities through the BIOS. Obviously this is only a minor set back as it is for certain that a dedicated BIOS will be released in the near future. My personal preference is the Cobra BIOS as it run everything I threw at it (except for the built in functions).

Final Choice:
NON as each and every one does not work to it's potential.
