Easy. Go to this site:

(You have to have a modchip to use backups however).

Hey Lufc, I understand you want people to visit your site. But geesh man, we here at fileforums have posted stickies and worked hard to give out info. Heck people came here and spent time to register to ask questions here. I just think its a touch annoying when people register someplace ask a question then another person says "visit my site for all the answers" then they have to register there. Especially since we have all the answers here.

Would you mind just linkin them to our stickies since they came here in the first place? Heck I could understand if you had info that we dont have here and you only linked when that particular situation arose.

I mean I really dont go to your forums and post links every chance I get to the FileForums website.

Tyler!

LUFC's Answer:- And you saying I haven't worked hard in building my site?

LUFC's Answer:- You don't have to register at my site. Only if you want to browse the forum. He needed help producing backups - I was only giving him that advice.

LUFC's Answer:- I never said you didn't.

LUFC's Answer:- Nope. No problem whatsoever. Never had, but people should have read said stickies and if still confused ask for the info. Just doing my job.

LUFC's Answer:- OK. Again, No problems.

LUFC's Answer:- I really couldn't give a monkey's if you did. We are here to help people get answers to their problems and this is a great site to do that. I believe we should work together to help eachother and not resolute to these petty little arguements like we are having here.

LUFC's leaving speech:- I really don't want to get into this, but to be honest, I can't see all the fuss and problems about helping people. That is what we are here for and if you want to post links all over my forum, go ahead and do so - it helps people. That is what we are here for and if I feel that something will help someone, i'll post it... I didn't want to get into this little arguement but there you go. I just don't want to see this forum go down like PS2newz/ownz did by arguements - I've been here too long for that, and this is why I hate doing things like this.

Hope you understand what I am saying, whilst I understand what you are saying (and not starting a major warfare in the meantime)...

Wooh, anyhoo, My 4040B (about $115 US) came with B’s Recorder Gold 5.32. Very easy to use program, no coasters yet and I even buned a mode2 BIN image and an ISO image in “add track” even tho they were not listed as supported files in the brows window, just pick view all files. Also backed up a multisession CD no problem. It could have more options and it doesn’t give a whole lot of info about your burning and I don’t know how it would handle a bad sector yet. Solid program anyway.

It sucks that all my old burning software no longer works but I ran into that same problem years ago when I got a new CDR burner.

Dustpuppy · #7 11-12-2003, 04:42

So tha B's Recorder GOld is a good program?
I havn't tried it yet.. I also have a LG 4040B firmware A301

ihaveanosebleed · #8 11-12-2003, 11:46

Mmm, B’s Good. I noticed when burning CDR’s on the 4040B at 24X the surface gets rings fading out toward the edge. Is this normal, the CDR’s work good n’ everything… no rings at 8X speed. Just wondering if anyone else noticed this with this drive.

Dustpuppy · #9 11-12-2003, 12:19

I got those on my LiteON 24x too...
and it is that it burns at different speeds..
at 8X it uses a constant speed but 16x and higher (i think it is at 16x) it starts to use z-clv (different speeds)
I think it starts at 12x and spinns up after awhile to 16 or 20x then the last part in 24x

I got rid of it when I updated the firmware.
I havn't noticed any rings on my 4040B. I use the A301 firmware.
What firmware du you use? maybe it will e solved in the newer firmware.
less noticable anyway.

If I'm correct then my LiteOn deasn't stop burning even when it spinns up...I'm not sure but the rings have more or less dissapered.

*I know that I can be confusing.....but I hope that it brings some light anyway*

Ahhh, my 4040B is at firmware A300, maybe I’ll update it if I can find the files and the nerves to. I might just stick to 8X CDR burns, only a couple minutes longer, if that!

Dustpuppy · #11 11-12-2003, 15:42

Ok, but mostly the update to A301 will be a better burn and recognition of DVD discs...
You need the A301 to burn DVD-R at 4x.
the princo ones anyway.

is it when you burn data discs or audio discs that you get the rings?
WHat I can recall I don't have that problem..
Got to try make a 24x burn on mine.....
Data then I guess....

Dustpuppy · #12 12-12-2003, 00:30

I have now tested to burn a cd-r at 24x.
No rings at all. the only one I can see is where the burn ended.

ihaveanosebleed · #13 15-12-2003, 10:16

Oh man this sucks!! I flashed my 4040B from A300 to A301 and now my princo media burns are not reading in my PS2. One game doesn’t boot at all, the other skips and locks up. I should have known better when I seen the utility had no option to back up the old firmware. I got some other media ordered but won’t be in for a while yet! Damn Damn, Ahhhh!!!
I'm chipping a V7 tonite, I'll see if these damn princo's work in that.

Dustpuppy · #14 15-12-2003, 11:53

What?
I use Princo too and they works like a dream in my V5.
Ok, havn't tried any PS2 backups.. only DVD movies..
The A301 is for the princo dvd-r discs...so you can burn them in 4x not only 2x.

ihaveanosebleed · #15 15-12-2003, 17:44

I’m stumped, I don’t know what’s going on! I tried the 2 DVD-R’s on the V7 and one worked the other just does the PS2 logo and hangs, then I tried my V4 and One works one does not so maybe just that one DVD-R for some reason. I can’t tell if it’s not reading the CD or what. I don’t think any NTSC games need patches or anything!? It is ATV Offroad 2.
