Where to find firmware updates for other models?
Authored by: jiclark on May 04, '06 04:06:24PM

I have a DVR-109, and I've been looking around a bit this afternoon, with no luck. Can anyone point me to the latest version for my drive? It's at 1.55 right now, I believe...

Thanks!
John

rpc1.org has tons of links to firmware and the utilities with which to flash the drives.
For example:
http://forum.rpc1.org/viewtopic.php?t=36167&highlight=pioneer+109
is a thread about putting the current region-free firmware on a pioneer 109.

http://lasvegas.rpc1.org/ has DVRflash for MacOS X which can apply the firmware to internal or external (FW or USB) drives.

I just used it this morning to put the 1.5.8 firmware on my external Pioneed 109 in order to try to get it to burn the supposedly very well-regarded RiData (Ritek) DVD-R DL 4x media I purchased. So far 3 out of 3 coasters. So, back to Verbatim's DVD+R DL 2.4x media (I've had 3 coasters out of about 100 discs burned) for us.

I did not know there is an OS X flash utility. So, I really appreciate Jim's post above me.

I have a Sony DW-Q28A drive in my G5 tower, and as Jim says, I found the latest firmware at http://forum.rpc1.org/viewtopic.php?t=34708. Since I have never flashed a drive, I am going to read all relevant instructions carefully.
