Na obcych forach ludzie przerabiają swoje 109 na A09
zastanawiam się czy to jest opłacalne?
Za:
Rip speeed bez ograniczeń
można włączyć lub wyłączyć tryb cichy (mniejsze transfery ale za to cichy pioneek)
Przeciw:
ryzyko zwalenia napędu.....

Thanks to all who don't think I'm ridiculous. Also to initial_D again for the tool and Flashman for the archives. I hope I'm allowed to link to Flash's stuff here...
Here's what I did with as much of an explanation as I can provide:
I extracted the A09v1.05 firmware
http://flashman.rpc1.org/Firmware/PIONEER/DVR-109/Enhanced_XL/DVRA09_FW105.EXE
and deleted the Pioneer upgrade .exe.
I used the DVRupdate 0.9 from
http://flashman.rpc1.org/Firmware/PIONEER/DVR-109/DVRupdate%20v0.9.zip
and flashed the A09 v1.05 firmware into the drive. This is where the DVRupdate tool came into play. I was already at v1.17 from Pioneer and they wouldn't let me flash backwards or to the A09 model (which is not rip locked). Then it was just a standard upgrade using the Pioneer .exe and v1.17 firmware for the A09
http://flashman.rpc1.org/Firmware/PIONEER/DVR-109/Enhanced_XL/DVRA09_FW117EU.EXE
During earlier attempts and while examining the firmware files for differences, I had noticed the 109 has the heading "GENERAL" in the hex file while the A09 has the heading "PIO_ADV". Trying to flash the wrong version of the firmware from Pioneer wouldn't work. But the DVRupdate file allowed me to change the kernal portion also. The only place I could find the small kernal file was in v1.05. So now, the drive is still recognised as a DVR-109 v1.17 but the rip speed is unlocked. I also imagine any future upgrades from Pioneer won't take the 109 version but I'll have to use the A09 version. The A09 1.17 file went in without a hitch using the flash utility from Pioneer. This didn't work before now.
Anyway, these are only my results. Prior to doing this it took over 30 minutes to rip DVD "X". Now DVD "X" rips in just about 5 minutes. Also noted is the fact that you can hear the drive spinning at maximum speed after the first few seconds of beginning to rip. I monitored the rip with DVD Decrypter and was hitting 14X at the end of the disc. DVD "X" was a single layer flipper disc with encrption....
Again, this is what worked for me. Your results may vary. Please don't blame me if you break your drive. But again, it worked for me...
