Oh Very Nice !

D83 · 22-05-2004

Thanks Herrie. Ill look at +RW now.

*rdgrimes* · 22-05-2004

What DL media is "supported"?

mafe · 22-05-2004

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Legnerp · 22-05-2004

Thank you, Herrie!

Is it right, that this one is based on HP 520n v2.21, which TDB released for the NEC already?
What are the main differences to the TDB release?

Legnerp

*rdgrimes* · 22-05-2004

Also, any progress with the +RW issues on this firmware?

I want to know:
1 - Is it free?
2 - Can it burn 4x Ritek @8x with good quality?

And how I can update the firmware???
Because this is the first try to update firmwire...

Thank you
Doctor Aziz

Just download the .RAR file: unpack it with WinRAR and run the .exe! RITEKG04 will work @ 8x in most of the cases!

Server · 22-05-2004

Herrie! You is the BEST! Thank you!
Does Dual Layer really works? Is this firmware is HP 520-based one? What DL media is supported and what development has been done(and status of it) to make 4x Dual Layer write possible?

Based on HP 520i 2.21 (I actually received it earlier then TDB, but was too exited to post it

)

It offers the usual media support (e.g. lots more media @ 8x

)

+RW still seems to have random issues

OK!

I'm gonna check this one out soon.
Keep up the good work!

At first

Is there a connection between the 2500@2510 firmware upgrade (inofficial) and this firmware? How did you manage to include dual layer support?

Mutant_Fruit · 22-05-2004

Herrie, does this mean that this drive (the 2500A) can burn dual layer media at 4x with good results? And what are the odds of bumping the speed up to 6x or 8x? I presume it would be really hard to do that and get good results...

This one is based on the HP 520i firmware which is actually quite similar to NEC's 2510 firmware.

4x hasn't been done yet. I'm trying to get it done, but might not be easy

I got the drive to recognise my media @ 8x, but burning at any speed higher then 2.4x gave me a "Power Calibration Error". I'll continue testing though

*g3ri* · 22-05-2004

Thx for this fast reply

Grand, i was just wondering why the DL discs were showing up @4x in your second screenshot.

Herrie Your a God Send

super vegeta ss · 22-05-2004

konsolen · 22-05-2004

i have dvd+rw probs!
to read it back.i get no seek complete error!

D83 · 22-05-2004

Mixed reviews:

Ricoh jpnr01 dvd+r, very nice read curve, bitsetting worked well.

Dvd+rw has faired a little worse, bit dubious at the start. But acceptable.

troyb · 22-05-2004

I just tried the firmware and my Ritek G04s never looked so good.The problem I'm having is now Record Now Max 4.5 doesnt recognize either one of my NEC 2500 burners.Nero and CloneCD find them fine but not supported in Record Now.
I've already upgraded the psx engine to 390 and still no luck.I always use it to make my first initial backup.Any suggestions before I flash back to beta 4? Thanks in advance!

Herrie,
I just applied the 507 update and still doesnt recognise either drive.I'm using Stomp Record Now Max 4.5,is this update for earlier versions than 4.6? I'd like to stay with this version because you can two disks at the same time and I havent figured out if it is possible with the later versions.

I appreciate your time.
