New Philips Drive?

QUOTE (RMF @ Apr 25 2004, 09:55 AM)
I've just pickd up a crystal xbox with the new philips drive in, but before i mod it i'd like to know if it will play my old backups without having to open it incase i have to return it, so i was wondering if any of the guys here who've had problems playing games from DVD-R's or +R's can play dvd movies on + or - media? Or is the problem solely with playing games from + or - R's?

The reason i ask is that i tested some burnt dvd movies on both types of media and they all played perfectly, and cd-r's worked fine aswell.  ohmy.gif

TIA to whoever answers.


Wow that's is the exaclty thing i would know too.

My Crystal xbox with Phillips isn't modded yet but i already tested some Copied Movies dvd's. There where 2 Princo DVD's (white) 4X . The 1st dvd i tested didn't work the second does work  sad.gif .. But is was de same Princo DVD-R (white). The good thing is that alls cd'rs works fine on my xbox.

Well I wanted to know if DVD-R could be a trouble when motted, Because i have 300 divx movies on DVD-R from Princo and Arita. So does it matters on what kinda dvd I burn (Dvd -R/+R DVD-rw/+rw) for the games/Movies????

PS: My 1st Xbox with Thompson Drive readed both Princo's... Kinda weard  blink.gif

Hmm. Nah Princo isn't cheap. Well Here's my my analysis.

Work:
Princo DVD-R Burned @ 4X
TDK DVD-R Burned @4X
Melody DVD-RW Burned @4X

Now the IRONIC THING IS.
MY FUCKING DRIVE. It crashes sometimes when reading project Gotham racing 2 ORIGINAL. I HAVE NO IDEA why but it crashes. Like wtf man. Growl. I don't know what else to say:S
SCREW PHILIPS!!!

I recieved the Phillips drive w/ Halo SE, VAD6035/21, 01-04. I have tested Ritek 4X DVD-R burned at 4X- it works. I have tested Imation CD-R burned at 40X and XBMC reads avi's perfectly. Are the LE's and SE's being tuned differently from the factory? Anyone else having good luck w/ SE and LE's stock phillips settings?

Yes, there is the possibility!If you look at the tutorials, in this site, you can find a way to identify what kind of drive do you have in your XBox by the tray form of your Xbox drive!

You're going to have to be more specific; if you're just closing your jamming discs in the drive as it shuts, just be more careful! wink.gif

Like many of u I also have problems with the new phillips drive.
I live in holland and the new drive always comes with a crystal xbox.

I modded about 5 crystals and 3 of them gave me problems reading certain games that plays fine on other drives.

So this is what I did to solve it for now, I took one of the new drives that plays most of the games fine, and measured the resistance.
LP=702
RP=1064

I tried to give another drive the same measurements, LP was a bitch, because when i tried to set it to 702 each little tweak it went from 750 to 650. The closest i could get was about 658.
I forgot to note down the original settings but new settings are:
LP=658
RP=1062

With these settings it reads more media, just like the other drive I didnt have to tweak.

This week I will get the 2 other drives that need adjusting and I'm planning to tweak them same like stated above. More info I will post.
