the olde Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 My NEC 4550a drive has the latest NEC 1.07 firmware installed, however there is another firmware available from outside NEC. What would the advantages be to use the alternative? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks If you are referring to Liggy and Dee's firmware, you can get RPC1 (region free) functionality, bitsetting for DVD+R and DVD+RW in addition to the included support for DVD+R DL discs. Also, they have modified some write strategies to improve burn quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
