help with cdrwin
 

i just installed my a06 and now the cdrwin can't recognize the drive. any help?

if you know for sure that you installed the drive correctly, try the official site of your drive brand for firmware updates. This may help. But caution: messing with the firmware in an incorrect way may cause your drive to not work properly anymore.

Updating firmware on your drive will NOT help you here. CDRWin is a very old piece of software which has been defunct for about 2 years and will NOT recognise any new or even relatively older drives. It wouldn't even recognise my old 12x Plextor CD-R/W when I first got it! Use Alcohol 120% for a 1:1 backup of your PS2 game. Both software and tutorials are available from my site, PS2 Place.

They just released a new version September 10th so how can you say it is defunct?;) 3.9E is the newest version which supports dvd including the Pioneer 106 drive.

Yeah? But I heard they stopped making it ages ago and that's why all those pirate versions were floating about...

Besides, Alcohol is a MUCH better option than that crap...

It is on their official site.:)

I don't use this prog except for ripping audio tracks from cds cause you have better progs like Alcohol.

I always use (the german re-made) cdrwin 5. some people say it's crap but it recognizes my new dvdburner and works like a charm. So why change it huh. it ain't that bad ;)

The German version is crap! I know of some people who just couldnt uninstall it from their systems. All it was was a cross between different burning engins like Disc Juggler and Nero (old nero).


Newer versions of the legit CDRWin are just fine. Hell they practically set the standerd.



Tyler!
