I never realized that there is a way to take a drive that is not capable of a feature like bitsetting and flash to allow it. Which firmware is currently the best to flash a pioneer 111d? Also, I have a Sony DW-U14A with firmware 1.0d. Is there any firmware out there that will allow me to get this drive to allow bitsetting? I was also curious as to why something drives can't be reflashed back to their original state. Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, use this method to enable automatic bitsetting on DVD+R to DVDROM on your Pioneer.
1. Download the dangerous brothers firmware 111L 8.19* internal and 111L 8.26 internal firmwares. You can get them here.
2. First you flash the drive with the 111L 8.19* internal firmware then reboot pc.
3. Now flash with 111L 8.26 internal firmware and reboot pc.
4. There. Now your drive has bitsetting to dvd-rom for DVD+R media, dvd-ram capability & labelflash (lightscribe tech).
NOTE: Make sure you download the 111L 8.19 INT * & 111L 8.26 INT firmwares.

Does the manufacturer 1.23 or 1.29 work just as well?

Urm no; manufacturers firmware isn't usually hacked, now is it?
Use the link I gave you, it isn't hard.

You don't even need the Pioneer burner. To booktype with your burner, Open DVD Decrypter and right click and select change booktype
Select BENQ as your drive and make DVD+R DL to DVD-ROM. That's it.

I didnt realize it was hacked firmware. I would have thought that the manufacturer would want their burner to be capable of stuff.
Also, do i flash using sfdnwin because thats what I did for kreon.

You dont need one! Just follow the insturctions I posted.
The files are .exe which means they run on thier own.

I did it and I'm testing it out right now. How does this affect DVD+R for bitsetting? I just realized something that I dont like. If this can't bitset DVD+R I will be somewhat upset.

i have DB's latest firmware 1.29 for poineer 111d but i cant burn the Aone 8x speed d/l disks at 8x but will at 2x, so if i flash with the pioneer firmware 1.29 which apparently lets me burn these disks at 8x will i still have the bitsetting on my drive, its i dont want to use the poineer firmware if it messes up as you cant revert back to DB's firmware.

It should be fine to flash between firmwares, but you will loose the features that patched firmware gives you.

Ripper, thanks for your first post in this thread - it helped me update my DVR-111D.
There's a 8.29 update now available. Would you happen to know what benefits are available to update to this version?
Many thanks :)

Glad it helped you out. As for new firmware, the only advantages I know will be present (cos all firmware does this) is the ability to recognise newer disks and better write strategies; eg faster burn speeds etc etc

Thanks again for the quick reply. I've done it & everything seems fine.
I thought you may have know the 'specific' benefits, or a link to them.

Well, the main special atribute to this firmware is the abiltiy to bitseet/nooktype your disks. Presumably it is just an upgraded version. I dont have one of these drive personally, so cant tell you first hand =)

Hi,
I´m new here :-)
Well, I have a doubt I wish somebody could solve me.
On my PC I have a Pioneer 111d with 1.29 Beta 3 from Dangerous Brothers firmware. I´m using it for XBOX 360 backups and it works great always. Now I´m going to begin to copy WII backups. So my question is: could I copy WII backups without change anything on muy burner, using it as always or must I change anything? If I must change the firmware I want to be able to continue burning XBOX 360 backups.
I also have an LG GSA-H10N on another computer. Will be better I use it for WII backups and continue using the Pioneer 111d for XBOX 360 backups?
I wait for help and I hope you understand my poor English :S
Regards,

The firmware is merely what helps your burner understand what to do when it writes the data to the disk. As long as you can get the files from the WII (what is that BTW) disk to the PC, then you can re burn them all the same back to a disk.
If you encounter problems, just ask.

Thank you for your help Ripper. So I just burn the games with my burner, do not?
For example, I burn it with ImgBurn or CloneCD directly? I don´t do anything about bitsetting or booktype, do not?
And, finally, DVD+R or DVD-R for WII backups?
Best regards,
|

Well, I'd use DVD+R and booktype them.
However, read in the Wii forums for conformation on that, as I do not own a Wii.
