The firmware prevents the use cd-rs.

This is not exactly true. I have two cd-rs that constantly work perfectly. They work on the original 8050L and the 8163b. Strangely enough I have other samsung cd-rs that do not work.

like all other xbox drives that dont read cd-r, its the laser, not the firmware (which is why some cd-r work, but most dont)

If it's really a laser problem, the Stitch_626's theory is confirmed !

currently it cant be the laser! because if you use the 8163 in a pc it reads every cd-r! so i have also no problems reading cd-r's in my xbox. currently just tried my platinum's but never have others so i think that problem will not happen to me.

Great work guys, I really appreciate the ability to replace my dying xbox drive.

I have purchased all the bits and I am ready to do some modding.

I have one newbie question that I hope somebody could answer please.

I have bought 3 1k resistors but they do not look like the ones on page 49. Mine are the stripey kind, I believe they are called commom resistors. Will these be just as good as truBB's little rectangular jobbies.

Thanks very much.

sorry.. again.. it cant be the laser.. if you limit the drive speed in windows(using cd-bremse(german prog)) it also can read every cd-r.(just tried out) so the other way.. in my xbox the 8163/now8050 spins up as loud as in the pc.. i dont think of speed limitation there. if there's a problem i think its because of the firmware. but as i told there's no problem to me...

@akzim_inahurry
Thanks for the reply and I hear what your're saying. Maybe I was being a bit melodramatic when I said my old drive was dying. What I should have said was that it has become much fussier reading recordable media. It still works fine on original pressed disks and because of that I don't really want to trash it.

Therefore my question still stands

I have bought 3 1k resistors but they do not look like the ones on page 49. Mine are the stripey kind, I believe they are called commom resistors. Will these be just as good as truBB's little rectangular jobbies.

Thanks everyone.

But your 8163b it is modded? And what is the firmware?

Thanks.

Hi,
I have also 1K common resistors (the resistors on the photo are CMS, right ?).
If there is no electrical differences between them (actually don't know), then is it possible to solder them on the audio connector side vs. board side (easiest way for me) ?
thanks
