Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-111D tuning in Mac Pro !

[Spacedust]

Great news guys.

I flashed my standard Mac Pro 2008 burner to much better model ! It looks like these drives have a lot more to offer and it's only firmware differences !

Take a look:

1. At first I flashed it with modifed Apple firmware to remove DVD region code:

As you can see - it's now region free

2. Then I flashed it with Pioneer firmware from better model: DVR-111

CD reading went from 32x to 40x, and CD-R burning from 32x to 40x ! It also added support for writing on DVD-RAM and DVD-R DL !

It also added:
