I'm almost ready to give in. I've been at this for a week. I have burned games using the following media:
Memorex
Office Depot (both ID as ritek).I have flashed my
47DH with the following firmwares:
OPA-XTREME-HITACHI-7IN1-V2_1
Birdy_Hitachi-LG_friendly_Flasher_v2.2_with_Xtreme_v1.3_and_2.0
Maximus-Garyopa_XTRM-HITACHI_v2_3_Stealth_Rev2
Birdy_Hitachi-LG_friendly_Flasher_v2.1_with_Xtreme_v2.0_and_Geremia_PatchAll flashed successfully, as well as every restore in between has been successful.
I have burned using the following programs:
CloneCD
Imgburn (booktype is at DVD-ROM)I am using this burner:
Lite-on DVDRW SOHW-1633sI have now changed the firmware of my burner to
1653s, and am getting better results in quality tests.
Now, here's the problem. No matter the combination of software, media, burner firmware, or dvd-rom firmware listed above, I always get unplayable disc, or open tray, when trying to load a backup (originals still work). The hdd trick, nor the hdtv switch help matters when I receive open tray. The console simply soft reboots and says, "Unplayable Disc". I have also tried the hitachi open tray fix from
here, with no good results.
I am open to any suggestions, or questions any of you might have.
