Sorry, there will be no more updates for OmniPatcher. Please see this thread for patched A4 firmware:

Hi. I'm looking for firmware for a Sony DW-Q58A. Its listed on the bottom of this page http://codeguys.rpc1.org/firmwares.html but there isn't any firmware for it. I've noticed in some posts that it was rebadged to a LiteOn SOSW-833S. But that doesn't help much because that's listed down the bottom with no links to firmware as well...
Does anybody have firmware for either of these two still?

I'm looking for an archived version of Omnipatcher 2.4.0, as I have found that versions from 2.4.2 onward do not support the 6X and 8X write speeds for DVD-R on a Sony DW-D56A. Would anyone be able to point me to a copy?

Hi everybody,

Lite-On DVDRW LH-18A1H using Win98SE on Dell XPS T750r.

Thanks for the great site. I don't think I ever needed to post before because all my questions were already covered.

The issue now is that I just wanted to get Supported Media info from KProbe. 10 second task, right?

But I got the "Safety Consideration" message so I upgraded to the latest KProbe 2.5.2. Same message. So then I found here about the IDE lock-up/BSOD problem, higher up in this thread.

Further in the thread someone suggested OmniPatcher would give the same information. So I downloaded it. But if it does give it, it sure isn't obvious how (not to me, anways).

The DVD Media Support tab says "The contents of this tab are not available for this firmware".

Fair enough, because I also read that OmniPatcher can extract firmware from a drive, so if I can extract it, it will then tell me what media are supported. But once again it's not obvious how to do it.

Instead of giving up, I downloaded LH-18A1H firmware from here:
http://codeguys.rpc1.org/firmwares.html
It was labelled GL0J (stock).

But this turned out to be not OmniPatch data at all. It was a rar file that expanded to an exe that wanted to update my LH03 version to LH09.

Although that sounds like a good idea, I did not really want to do that unless I could extract the existing firmware in case I don't like the upgrade.

All I wanted to do was find the supported media.

Is it possible?

Best regards,
Ed

@ed800uk:

You can see the supported media and burning speeds in your firmware by using MediaCodeSpeedEdit.

You can either download the firmware from the Internet somewhere, or dump it from your drive using a flasher such as e.g. C0deKing's Flash Utility.

Absolutely superb DrageMester,
1000 thanks!
