For f*cks sake, I've been chasing them for weeks and weeks and now they upload to the worldwide site and don't tell anybody.

They also seem to have bungled the Japanese web site - it mentions a revision 1.24 for the DVR-A12-J and the DVR-S12-J but there is no link to it!

It is worth mentioning that the same link also offers FW 1.24 for DVR-212 & DVR-212D drives as well!

Brad, can it be that only CD writing was improved here? That seems like very little for waiting so long.

Was the firmware from Japan?

VelleX · 25-12-2007

There are new firmware versions for Buffalo Pioneer OEM drives.

Ver.8.25
DVSM-X1218FBS(ID : PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-212)
DVM-RXG18 (ID : PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-112D)
DVSM-XL1218 (ID : PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-112L)

*_chef_* · 25-12-2007

Nice find!

*nickyboy4* · 25-12-2007

I wonder if 8.25 is more advanced then 1.24?? In the past Buffalo always matched the offical Pio firmware as far as the last 2 numbers went. I did 2 burns with this and I liked the result.

energy1959 · 03-01-2008

Is possible crossflash with Buffalo firmware 8.25?

Thanks

yes, you need to crossflash the drive first, with the kernel/firmware flasher from TDB's site

Just to expand a bit on what PumaUK said ...

If your unit is a 112, then YES you can - if you do what PumaUK said.

If your unit is a 212, then I'm afraid the answer is NO. Apparently crossflashing Pioneer drives requires a kernel firmware, which is not available (yet) for 212 drives ... one might only hope that this would not be the case for too much longer

Now that would be a nice new year present ...

I'm looking for the latest firmware for my ASUS 1814BLT.

I've searched the ASUS/Pioneer forum but couldn't find it.

Btw I'm also looking for the latest firmware for my NEC 7173S, also couldn't find it on the NEC forum.
