Well the NME 360 1.1 How I see it is really for the fewer wire counts with bug fixes. It depends which drive you have the NME-360 1.1 is out for the Hitachi and the Samsung. As for the LE is only for the Samsung.
__________________________-

But My question is that I havnt been albe to burn a suscessful backup. I have tried using the wxRipper and then converting with Xbox SS Merger 1.7b then using CloneCD to burn it. Burned using the Pioneer 111D "Fw: 1.29"

But it sounds like the laser is skipping sometimes and I have got both "Open Tray" and "Insert in a Xbox 360".

And Was burning at 2.4x

I have a Hitachi 47

First post says burning backups with a pio 111D will NOT WORK.

I have a Pio 110D and backups work fine.


Installing the NME V1.1 on a sammy is easy. I am a rookie, i had a mess about on broken PCBS to practice and just tried soldering etc to small locations.  

The 4 Main points for the chip to work are pretty easy ... BUT :

(if ur a beginner/rookie) USE ALTERNATIVE POINTS 1 & 2 scrape away the epoxy with the soldering iron turned on, only scrape to the points u need (so bottom left left leg and 4rth leg up on the right of SST chip) and solder to these points, 5 and 6 are pretty easy I managed to solder all these points easily with a 0.1mm tip.

Fot the Network point you will need to use a smaller tip, i used a 0.01mm tip and after about 5 attempts
 got a good strong clean connection.

I did not bother with the LED status because i didnt have the right torx screw lying about.

ANYHOW if ur a rookie, dont dive in , do some pratice, get used to the heat of the soldering iron. take it nice n slow. (n have a cuppa on the side to relax (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif))

Anyway, with the new NME-360 v1.1 Chip life got so much easier for everybody and especially for those who bought a Pioneer 111D burner when all that progress started.
 

I saw that and thought that you can burn that with them now.

Has anyone had any luck with the Pioneer 111D drive?

And I have read about the Pioneer 111L Fw update?
Know anything about that?

Ok i've read this thread about 3 times and i cant find my answer...

I almost positive i have my chip installed correctly... checked it a few times with a meter as well...

However, when i put in a game it says 'reading' and then 'open tray'

anyone know if this means a bad burn? bad ss.bin? chip installed wrong? thanks

i have nme v1.1 with hitachi lg 47, NEC-3550, Verbatim media

Ok for all of you out there i can confirm that Pioneer 109 works and makes great working backups.
I have Samsung drive on the Xbox with NME 360 v1.1 and use Verbatim dual layer.
You dont have to change the booktype with v1.1
Also i read that you convert the iso and the ss with SS Merger.
DON'T DO THAT!!!!!
Thats the wrong way and it wont work!!!!!
you only use the SS Merger for cheking if you got a correct SS for your ISO!!!!
After that in the same directory put the ISO, change its name in IMAGE.000 and use convert bat (witch you putted in the same directory as the ISO and the SS) who will pach them to be compatible with NME.
At the end you will have GAME.ISO and GAME.DVD files. The GAME.ISO file must be 7.17gigs after conversion, and before it about 7.5...
Than open Clone CD, find the GAME.DVD file and burn it...
You may notice that the .dvd file created by wxripper you dont need!!!!
Burn it and you are finished.
This way works for me every backup that i make form my original games....
Good Luck!!!

Hi, has anyone had any luck with this combination with the NME360 V1.1?

Hitachi GDR-3210L with Rom 47DH

Pioneer 110 and Verbatim DVD+R dl's

I see posts that back ups burned with the Pioneer 110 are working with the Samsung drive... but I cannot get this combination to work with the Hitachi...

If you have the V1.1 chip, it should work fine.

If you have the v1.1 chip and it is properly installed, it will work with any burner as long as you follow the procedures EXACTLY as they are on the team underdog website.

I would recheck my installation if I were you.  I myself was so certain that I had done everything correctly, but the number 1 point wire (on the underside) never had a good connection.  I soldered it straight onto the chip and it all works fine now.

[SMG4me]

Thank you for replying IMI_II_IK_IE.

From what I am reading in the forums the NME360 does not work period with back ups burned by the Pioneer 111 burner. The NME360 people claimed the chip worked with this drive and as of right now it does not. That is why I was checking to see if anyone had luck with the Pioneer 110 and the Hitachi 47DH. I can certainly understand a bad solder point. No combination will work with that.

I have already triple checked my solder points and all are fine.

I also am certainly not going to buy a cheaper burner for the NME360. My stack of coasters seems to be pointing to reflashing the Hitachi with the OPA Xtreme v2.1 Hitachi-LG Firmware 7in1 which I know works with the Pioneer 110. I wanted to avoid doing this but it looks like I have no choice.

The intent of the NME360 was good but the fact that it doesn't work with best burner the Pioneer 111 and most likely my 110 as well seems like complete waste of time and money. If the NME360 can provide a simple firmware flash to the Pioneer burners that's fine but if the modchip need to be reflashed it's hittin' the trash...

Simple formula

Samsung + nme modchip + pioneer 111d = working

firmware moded samsung + pioneer 111d = working

Hitachi + nme modchip + pioneer 111d = none working backups

firmware modded hitachi + pioneer 111d = working

Support = nill @ moment from team underdog after 3 weeks of emails without any responses


ALl i rememebr is when nme 1.1 released was stated life gets easier for 111d owners which apparently is not so.

Hey all.

I just got my nme360 v1.1 and started to solder wires to the pcb. However, I can't get the points 1 & 2 to stick. How would I solder a wire to those points. They don't seem to be metal.

I use a standard soldering iron with a solder wire made for electronics.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

I would check the install on the hitachi drive.  If the backups work in the samsung but not hitachi, its not the burner.

I had the same problem.  I ended up taking the epoxy off and using the alt. points on the eeprom.

[chopsuey]

Thanks for the reply.

I was thinking the same thing, but I was afraid that the eeprom would be easily damaged if I was a bit careless removing the epoxy and so on.

A sub-question:
If I have managed to brick my drive. Should I buy a new samsung or hitachi then?

From what I understand, if you have managed to brick your dvd drive, you are screwed, unless you can backup your current drive and clone a new one.

About the epoxy.... there was a video put on the XS frontpage a couple of days ago on how to do it.  It looks very simple, if you have a heat gun.

Anyone having weird problems with Memorex DL backups? My NME chip works flawlessly and my backups worked for a while as well. All of a sudden my backups of my most frequently played games started acting funny. sometimes they would load, work for a while then freeze and eventualy I'd get the 'Unrecognized Disc, please clean' message. Other times they wouldn't load at all. Is there something wrong with Memorex media that causes it to rapidly degrade or something? The discs barely have any scratches on them. I'm considering switching to Verbatim media but I don't want to fork out money for Verbatim media if the Memorex's aren't the real problem. The backup I play the least still works flawlessly.

Also of note, it could be a coincidence, but all my problems started after I started playing the latest demo disc (Rainbow Six Vegas) from OXM.
