GristyMcFisty used our news submit to tell us that the Codeguys are able to offer some improvements to their firmware patcher OmniPatcher. This is a utility that sports a GUI for easy creation of custom firmwares. It is for those of us that have Lite-On drives and would like to do a little tweaking.
| Changelog:1.3.2: (8 Jul 2004) Added: - Force-fallback patch that will slow down high-speed +R burns at the end. This is intended for people with high climbing error rates at the end of burns
- There is now a note about the use of the double-click in the interface
- Warning message when trying to modify the speeds of +RW media.
Improved: - The old "Apply recommended write strategy replacements" feature has been overhauled and renamed
- The formatting of the media code report has been refined
- The sorting of +R/W media codes into +R and +RW has been improved (this fixes a sorting problem with a few of the old firmwares).
Fixed: - Loading an incompatible firmware could, under certain circumstances, cause OmniPatcher to crash. This has been resolved
Other: - The handling of disallowed speeds has been changed. Instead of disabling them, they are now hidden to reduce clutter
- Minor changes in some texts throughout the program, including a renaming of "shift-fixing" to "force-shifting"
- The documentation was revised.
Changes Version 1.3.3: 10 July 2004 -
Updated the recommended tweaks list from 2-01 to 2-02. -
Slightly changed the way OmniPatcher gives warnings. -
Added error message if the recommended tweaks button is clicked and there is no recommended tweaks file present. -
Minor updates to some of the build libraries. |
*Update* Version 1.3.3 is out, changelog just above. 🙂 They say this is a minor update and there is not much reason to upgrade if you have the 1.3.2 version.
Thanks Codeguys!
This utility can be used to increase the burning speed of low-speed media, change write strategies, increase the reading speed of burnt DVD media, enable auto-bitsetting, fine-tune high-speed burns, fix the blinking orange light problem, and enable crossflashing. Make a custom-patched firmware tailored for your own needs with this patcher!
