Hi everyone,
just a quick note to post my results and thank Redline99 for this great tool !
ho...before you read further, please excuse my english I'm french
1 Successfull backup
2 toasters

All 3 attempts have been performed on the
same game using the same hardware/software setup:
--> original disc read from XBC 2.0 with Samsung SH D162C (fw 0.80 from Kreon)
--> image burned from XBC 2.0 with Pioneer 111D (flashed to 111L fw 8.26 from the "dangerous brothers")
Unfortunately, I do not have any screenshot/log of displayed error message but will post as soon as I get others.
This means that there is still something unstable in the way we backup discs, but we are obviously very closed to success
Thx again Redline99
try reverting you 111 drive firmware back to the original firmware it was released with, the db firmware ive noticed can be hit and miss on some systems. The standard firmware its released with will autobitset without alterations right out of the box...(if i remember right the only pio drive you have to reflash is the 09, dont quote me on that though, its been a while since i needed to flash a drive).
Ive done several tests with the kreon firmware, and its very tight, ill suggest to those that are having trouble with this meathod to try out the usual methods first to run a comparison, it may be your hardware. Just a suggestion to save confusion.
