These components are all either the exact same conponents as the SD-616T or they are 100% compatable with the SD-616T's components. So, if the laser is compatable with the 605b's firmware like the SD-616T's laser is, and we can find the cd/dvd ready point(s) then we have a new drive available for modification.

freaky_00,

I tried to get ahold of the brothers, and got no response. Ask them what info/tests they would need to figure out what is different in the firmware that makes the xbox accept originals.

I ran across a interesting forum.. any one think this could be a related drive?

PC DVD-Rom doesn't read CD-R??? GRD8160B ?

h**p://www.cdrlabs.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=7808 ?

Just thought I would share...

F1LTER · « **Reply #125 on:** January 05, 2005, 02:10:00 AM »

Well it seems I found that drive listed for sale ...

LG DVD-ROM 16X IDE GRD-8160B OEM 34.00 31.56
LG 16x IDE DVD-ROM DRD-8160B SW/P-DVD R *BACK IN* 34.67 32.19

Different Drives? And it seems the GRD version is discontinued and is almost only avail from non us sources. Maybe the G is like a OEM code.. I dont know.

I will ask them!!! I pm'ed you their email address. If you write an email you have to reply to the automated email they send you so they can verify your email is not junk!!! But maybe you will have to wait a little longer cause I believe they live in europe. I received the email @ 8pm (Berlin, Paris).

BTW is there a tool for the XBOX which lets you see info of your DVD Drive without putting the drive in your pc? Maybe even something like DISCInfo? I WOULD LOVE THAT!!! Maybe LenteSubigo could ask Hijacker for the sources and make an XBE out of it. Or any other guy could do something like that.

The 8160B is SO OLD. Mine was manufactured in December 2001. This drive should be discontinued anywhere now!!! In germany only these models are listed on the lg website

GDR-8161B
GDR-8162B
GDR-8163B

Just for my own amusement i flashed sdg-605B firmware to LG DRD-8160B...

PC recognizes the drive as sdg-605, but the eject doesn't work, and it dont work either if i reverse the tray motor...

...But if i press paperclip to manual open hole(?) then drive ejects the tray, and closes it if eject is pressed, but it closes it also automaticly about in 30seconds...

Drive doesn't try to spin disc at all, only when eject button is pressed repeatly, then disc spins about one turn...

When eject is pressed then the laser tryes to focus or something to disc, and it moves about 2mm... The laser doesn't move more at any stages...

...so there's something that isn't compatible on that drive...

well what would a normal sdg-605 do in a comp?
the same thing im guesssing

LenteSubigo · « **Reply #134 on:** January 07, 2005, 05:56:00 PM »

No, a 605 would work fine in a computer as long as you have an adapter so you can connect power to it.

If the computer still recognizes it as a 605 after you flashed the firmware, something is wrong. The computer should recognise it as a DRD-8160B, and then either work or do something like what you described. E

ither way, it is possible that 605 firmware will work on DRD-8160B and DRD-8160B firmware wont work on the 605.
