Topic: 2 Dvd Drives No Firmware (Read 118 times)

Hello Xbox-Scene and listeners.

I have:
-Xbox 360, orig firmware on dvd drive, Original games need to back up.
-A Pioneer DVR-112D and a HL-DT-ST-DVD-RW GWA-4164B DVD-RW DL's.
-A Emachine 80g hd, win xp home sp2, 512mb DDR SDRAM, AMD Athlon 64 2 GHz, 17 in. CRT Display, 1600 MHz bus speed, PCI Express voi.
-ADSL Connection to a new Linksys wired router.

I have attempted to backup my games with Schtrom360XtractV3.2 and Xbox Backup Creator, both programs fail at some point. Schtrom360XtractV3.2 just has a pop up saying "Only Xbox extraction is supported on this drive" and Xbox Backup Creator wont even let me push the start button. I belive its because I have not flashed my firmware correctly.
I have attempted to flash my Pioneer 112D firmware but only found that the drive will still not read the xbox 360 game i own.
i went to http://tdb.rpc1.org/ and then to the Pioneer 112d Firmware.
The Pioneer DVR-112D originaly came with 1.15 firmware
I have tried on 8.06 INT (Buffalo-Internal) but the error pops up saying "available target is not found error" when trying to flash the pioneer drive.
then reflashed it back to 1.15 with TDB Flasher w/Kernel on the same page
The Pioneer website has an update to 1.21

Having a smaller game disk shouldnt matter, Its still a xbox360 game?

I know where to go to flash my Xbox 360 drive so im good there.

So my questions are:

How do i flash one/or both of my dvd-rw dl drives to support reading of my Xbox 360 Disks i need the drives to be able to change the Booktype?
Should I just use the update on pioneers website for the 1.21?

The only PC DVD-ROM models the can be used to rip entire games (including SS, DMI, PFI,Video and game partitions) with XBCreator (or Schtrom) are: IDE = SH-D162C and TS-H352C; SATA =SH-D163A and TS-H353A.
And every letter in the designation is important (i.e. SH-D162A is not good)

neither of those drives will read/extract 360 games.

I thought that a pioneer could be used in this manor

and in WxRipper I get the error HotSwap Dvd Is To Small, when trying to get the magic number.

Link in your thread removed as the site is a previous shit listed site here due to constant spamming of it and content not allowable on XS.

I have been told on team xecuter's forum that the pioneer 112d is great for burning the dl disks. However they do not read the xbox 360 games from what i have tried. I have tried to get my firmware updated from TDB's website..but it doesnt work for me..i dont know why either. Also I think i fryed my blaster 360...trying to plug it in without the pins in their correct position..(the plastic piece that lights up).

Dude,

Just like soso said, there are only 2 drives that you can use to read 360 games on your PC. You not only didnt read the stickys before posting, but didnt read the response from a mod. Do us a favor and read the stickys before posting anything, its why they are STICKY. How many times do people have to respond to you with the same answer before it gets in your head..
