I have no choice but to agree!!!!
BTW Somehow I got my Memorex +R media to burn. The only thing I can think of is I reinstalled Nero. I don't know if that would do anything, as far as burning a specific media, but at least it worked once. I hope it will work again.

Hi mattym,
That worked great. I now have Flashman's version 1.10 installed.
I'm happy now,
Frank

Same question here. I just flashed last night with v 1.05 with no problems and burning at 8x indeed works and works well.
What does v 1.10 do differently or improve on from v 1.05? Thanks Dudes.

All I can say for now is that flashing it to 1.10 didn't screw it up.
I think it might have removed the first flash that let it burn -R at 8X.
I have a Verbatim "movie reel" 4X -R I'm going to try again. It burned the first one at 8X with the original hacked firmware. If it burns this one at 4X I may try and flash it back to the previous firmware.
I think if your happy with the way it works, don't flash it again.

I re-flashed again back to 1.05. With the 1.10 flash, the Nero burn window showed a maximum speed of 4X for Verbatim media that had showed 8X with the 1.05 flash.
Changing back to the 1.05 flash, it shows 8X again. The Memorex -R still shows 4X. An Optodisc -R shows 8x.
I've flashed this drive four times so I think I'll leave it alone! Its still working.
Cheers,
Frank

People, if 1.05 works for you, dont even think about changing it cuz it can well screw up on you. be happy that you can burn at 8x with 1.05 ;-)

Things are working well now with the 1.05. My Memorex 4X +Rs are burning at 4X, my Memorex 4X -Rs are burning at 8X as well as Verbatim -Rs at 8X. The Optodisc -R that showed 8X in Nero coastered after writing the lead in with a power calibration error.

Hi all, I've flashed my new Pioneer drive twice to the patched version of 105 and have not been able to create a readable DVD. Flashing it back to the original version makes it work.
I'm runing XP with on a P4 2.4ghz and an Intel MB.
Any suggestions?

Hi ThinMan,
Once you install the flashed firmware, the drive is going to try and burn -R media at 8X. You might be able to set your burn speed back down to 4X or slower in your burning program and see if that works.
I tried a variety of media to discover the ones that work, You may want to do this as well. If I remember correctly, this flash was created using Fujifilm -R media so that this or other media using Metal Azo dye may work the best with this flash.

Well, I live on the edge ;0)
I have tried the new official pioneer firmware, and cant see that it does much at all. My Datasafe 8x +R's still only write at 4x, but now my Princo -R's only write at 4x.
My advice, dont bother with the FW110, stick with NIL's.
By the way, I flashed it back to NIL's without many issues, apart from getting stains in me panties!!
Cheers

Hello people, I just installed the new firmware on the Pioneer 107. It is awesome. It let me rip a movie at 12X. It was single layer DVD but it only took about 5 minutes to do it. Thats great! I had some Ridata G04 and some cheap no name disk left. These no name generic disk didnt even have media codes on them. I' ve got about 25 of these no nomaes left so I thought that I woudl try and burn at 8X on these no names and see if it works. I have read the Ridata's willl burn flawlessly at 8X. So after only 8 minutes, the no name was done burning. To my surprise, it works dine on all my DVD players in the house. No problems at all. Now I am not suggesting that you guys should you cheap 4X media and burn it at 8X, but it seems to work for me. So there you have it guys. This firmware rocks. Thanks alot for putting me onto this firmware.

Glad it works for you, but i would tend to use the RiDATA more than the no names.
FasFrank - the power calibration error is a media caused problem. Try changing media :-)

I agree that good quality media like Ridata is the way to go. I was just experimenting with the left over cheap media I have. I just got a spindle of the Ridata so I 'm trying to use up these cheap no names on experimenting and burning non-important stuff. The ripping at 12X is great too. I never thought about it before but its really handy being able to rip that fast.

Hi Oriphus,
The disc I had the power calibration problem with was just some crap I had laying around, I think it came with a burner I had bought a while back.
Asking any non 8X media to burn at 8X is asking a lot. If I had a stack of these discs and wanted to burn them, I would set the burn speed down to the normal rating for this media.
But I'm going to stick with the Memorex -Rs (as I have a stack of them) They are burning just fine at 8X. I'll be getting Ritek next, I have not tried them yet.
Burning at 8X is awesome! The Pioneer sounds like a turbine engine and the disc is nice and warm after the burn. You can hear the burner change from 6X to 8X, 20% into the burn.
Cheers,
Frank

Yeah thats right you can. If you look at the disc afterwards you will see a small ring about a cm or two in that shows when it changed from 6x-8x. RiDATA burn great at 8x for me. I'll let you all know when i receive the Ritek Traxdata 8x DVD+R discs from Ritek Corp and have a look at them.

Pioneer say's after you flash say to FW110 you can't go back to previous version FW105 or FW109. My question has anyone tried to flash drive backward. I have used hacked 105 and you can flash up to pioneer's 109 or 110 where mine is now using the DVDFLASH from DOS Prompt. Could not use the UPGVD.exe though said drive not supported.

Is your drive letter G: or something else? You can get firmware reversal programs, flashman's website has one.

Lets see if I can remember.. I got the burner, did the Flashman 1.05 flash. On the 20th I looked at the 1.10 Pioneer flash that needs to done in DOS and decided against that one, I went to Flashman's site did his 1.10 flash. I didn't like it because I couldn't burn at 8X, so I flashed back to the hacked 1.05 again and can burn -R at 8X again.

Same as myself - though you will notice most likely that it burns the start of the disc at 6x, then after a minute or so jumps to 8x
