Help With Samsung Pc Dvd Drive Backups Options

[desconfiad]

I found a Samsung SH-D162C PC DVD-ROM drive. If i use Kreons FW on this can I use it to make working backups without pulling my Samsung 360 drive out (except for the initial flashing of that drive to read back ups)? Can someone help me with how to do it? All the tuts are helpful but nothing showing how to do it with this method. Basically I am just trying to avoid the whole pulling the DVD out to make back ups.

Basically its the same as any xtreme back up. Follow this tutorial but start from and obviously using the pc drive with the disc in it.
If you don't enter the commands you will gets errors and it takes tooo long! You can error skip etc but this is easy enough and quick.

"For the custom command set in the CDB Structure you will enter the following
FF 08 01 01 as shown below in figure 2.8 (below)"

Because you cant extract the SS bin yet properly. That would need sourcing from elsewhere, and will need to be correct for the country your in. So unless you have SSbin files aquired you can't back up yet anyway, till the final release is out.
And also you will need to extract the stealth way if you want games stealthed aswell. Which I don't believe is supported in Kreons firmware yet? ANYONE Tried it yet? NOT 100% as haven't tried it but can't see a mention of it ???

what are the advantages of having it be stealth or not? This is the first time i have heard that mentioned.
