Senza firmware!!!

[supertondo]

Ciao a tutti,
per fare lo scemo ho sostituito il firmware dell'artec 48/12/48 con quello del 40/12/48 senza fare il backup. non riesco più a trovare il mio firmare per masterizzare a 48x su internet. Qualcuno c'è l'ha o qualcuno può estrarlo dal suo mast per inviarmelo a matteotondo@hotmail.com???

up!

Possiedo questo masterizzatore... non male, devo dire! Però è noto che è affetto da alcuni problemi a causa del firmware sviluppato male; perciò ti sconsiglierei di ri-flashare il drive con il suo firmware... Meglio montare quello del Cyq've CQ4848 o del CQ4848PRO... è molto più affidabile... Per aggiornarlo devi seguire un metodo particolare: quello del trucco dello 'swap'.

Ti allego le istruzioni, in inglese: (se qualcosa non ti è chiaro, chiedi pure):

... With the information contained on this page you can overclock your Artec 32x12x48, 40x12x48, 48x12x48 or Aopen 32x12x48, 40x12x48 (*untested at present!!!) to a Cy'Qve (Artec) 48x16x48!!! (*16x rewrite untested at present).

The Artec 32x and 40x writers appear to be the same internally, as I have previously verified that the firmware from one can be used on the other with no apparent side-effects. In addition the Aopen 32x and 40x writers also appear to be the same as each other, and clearly at least based on the same base (Ricoh) reference design as the Artec drives. The Aopen 32/40 firmware will work in the Artec 32/40 and vice-versa (the disc eject speeds may be different due to the slightly different hardware).

Aopen have since moved on to their 48x and 52x machines which use CAV writing techniques rather than the Z-CLV of previous drives. These drives' firmwares are NOT compatible with the earlier drives (it is reported that the 48x Aopen firmware will work on the 40x writers but only at 12x writing). Artec have also brought out their 52x device which appears to be a different design this time from the Aopen (the write speeds are different for a start).

However, an interesting drive which Artec brought out was the 48x unit. This still used Z-CLV writing and the burn speeds appeared to be little more than the 40x but with an extra 48x segment put on the end at around the 70-minute mark. Could this drive be similar to the earlier models?

It appears so. The circuit-boards and servo mechanisms appear very similar on the two drives. The problem is that Artec have not released their firmware for the 48x drive. However, our saviour comes in the shape of Cy'Qve, who have released the latest (1.08 at time of writing) firmware for their rebadged version of the Artec drive

OK, so how do we get the 48x firmware on our 32x/40x drive? First we need the following, all available from The Firmware Page or CDR-Info :

1) Firmware release 1.08 for ther Cy'Qve CQ4848Pro.

2) Artec's 5.20 release of their firmware-flash utility.

3) A copy of the firmware of the drive you wish to upgrade (these are all available it seems).

Please note I accept ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOEVER if you damage your drive doing this!!!!!

Put the two .bin files and the Util in the same directory. Rename your drive's file to a.bin and the Cy'Qve file to b.bin. Load up the util, select your drive in the top drop-down menu and a.bin in the second. The name of your drive should appear in the grey box. You might want to back-up your existing firmware at this stage!!!

Press "Next". Then rename a.bin to a1.bin and b.bin to a.bin (thereby making the Cy'Qve file the one going into the drive). Then press "Start". When finish, reboot your PC and you're done!!!

Per scaricare il firmware del Cyq've CQ4848PRO:
http://www.met.com.tw/download_file/cdrw/cyqve/4848pro/cq4848Pro_108.exe

Ovviamente l'operazione DEVE ESSERE ESEGUITA CON CAUTELA; tuttavia se l'aggiornamento non dovesse andare a buon fine è possibile resuscitarlo con il sistema "Ricoh FirmwareLoader2".[/siz]
