YT2095 Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 personaly I goto a site (ilegal) and DL a new upgrade, burn it to CD, and run it in the player (sometimes you`ll need to enter a num seq from the remote, or hotkey it at the front). and that`s about it really, just rem, use a REPUTABLE SOURCE!!!!!!!! I`ve seen more than one PS2, X-Box and DVD player taken back to the shop as a result of unscrupulous warez loading!
bloodhound Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 why illegal? cant the firmware be downloaded legally. or does it cost .
YT2095 Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 it`s ripped from factory upgrades using the same chassis and hardware, but designed to be "next years" model. basicly... same shit , different day kinda stuff
Dave Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 Just beware that doing that will probably invalidate the warantee on whatever you've bought and, on the other hand, could knacker it up quite a lot (i.e. completely unusable).
bloodhound Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 yes indeed. i have seen a lot of hacked firmware flying round for god knows what.
Dave Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 In short: unless you really need the functionality to be on the bleeding edge or the kits quite old, don't bother.
Sayonara Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 never tried burning mp3s to a audio cd on CDR. but when i burn mp3s onto an audio CD on a CD RW, i never can play them. Oh yeah - few cd players will be able to play music burned to a RW, even if it is in audio format.
bloodhound Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 why is that? whats makes a computer recognise it as a audio cd and not a cd player
Sayonara Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 It's something to do with the RW media itself. PC drives recognise it, most CD players don't. Or something.
Dave Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 Think it's something to do with the reflectiveness of the material used for -RW discs that makes it hard for a normal audio CD player to read.
alt_f13 Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 mp3s should be burned as data. I'm thinking that if you burn CDA as data or mp3 as audio they may not work unless it's a very smart device. How would you burn an mp3 as a cda w/o converting the format? I have never in my life seen a burning software that does not convert the format automatically. CDA could burn as data' date=' provided you either only copied the file reference you see in explorer or dumped the CDs contents as raw data onto your computer (which could also be burned back into correct format with proper software). Think it's something to do with the reflectiveness of the material used for -RW discs that makes it hard for a normal audio CD player to read. I think that's right. They use denser material or something.
Sayonara Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 How would you burn an mp3 as a cda w/o converting the format? I have never in my life seen a burning software that does not convert the format automatically. Well whatever - it's the RW media that's important.
alt_f13 Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 Rats, I thought you were on to something amazing, however superfluous the concept might have been.
