Thought I might share a little beauty that's been working brilliantly for me.
I recently flashed my Pioneer DVR-110D drive with the latest the Pioneer site has to offer (version 1.37), and am very happy about the bonus speed that I'm getting with the 8x discs I'm using.
The files on the that link page contains the older version of the firmware (version 1.22), so instead of the old one, the new 1.37 can be found from here .
To do any of this, you must be able to know how to change directories while in DOS prompt.
# Going into a directory/folder. E.g: C:\cd *folder name* (*if folder name exceeds 8 letters, type the first 6 letters following "~1", e.g: "C:\cd progra~1" to get into "program files" on your C drive.)
# Going back one directory/folder before. E.g: C:\cd ..
# Know the letter to your pioneer dvd drive. E.g D:\
1)Basically, extract the "DVRFlash_v2.2_win32.zip" into a folder on you C drive, rename the folder to a shorter name so that you can easily type it in the prompt. (6 files)
2)Extract the file you've downloaded from the pioneer site into the same folder as before. (3 files)
3)Run your MS-DOS prompt, and get into the directory that the files are in. (e.g: c:\dvra10\)
4)CAREFULLY, WITHOUT DROPPING OUT ONE SINGLE LETTER, TYPE: dvrflash -ff RB100011.137 RB100111.137
5) Press "Y" for "yes", then once more again.
6) Wait for 35 seconds
7) Done! Now you can make your DVR-110D perform the "same" as a more expensive DVR-A10XLA, that can also take DVD ram disks.
*Disclaimer: if you managed to somehow muck this up, I'm not responsible for a new drive that needs to be purchased. But it's not like as if you can fail following simple instructions, or can you...*
