Bitsetting versions of the recently released firmwares for 3570, 4570 and 4571 have just been added. In addition to NEC’s firmwares, these versions allow changing the booktype on DVD+R and DVD+RW discs.
Please note that changing the booktype on DVD+RW only works properly if the disc has not been written to before.
NEC just released new firmwares for the x57x series drives. We added the unmodified and RPC1 patched versions 1.12 for the 3570, 1.03 for the 4570 and 1-02 for the 4571. These firmwares should be quite identical except for DVD-RAM and Labelflash support.
Also sections for the new Optiarc drives have been added but don’t expect firmwares for these drives too soon.
1.Z2 ND-4570A Modified Firmware Released.
Two versions available.
Both firmware feature full bitsetting and media speedups.
