When And Why Do You Need To "spoof" A Drive?
« on: September 12, 2009, 01:40:00 PM »
Could someone please explain why and what spoofing a drive accomplishes? Ive got a stock BenQ drive I'm about to flash this weekend. Do I need to spoof anything?

You dont have to spoof anything if that is the drive from that motherboard, the key needs to copied over.spoofing is changing the id string in the firmware so that the drive reports as a different type of drive, the reason for this is that a dvd drive must report as the correct one to the motherboard or will not boot, and also report with the correct dvd key to run a game,so all you need to worry about is the dvd key to be copied over to the ixtreme firmware,some ppl refer this as spoofing but its not really.
