Compatible LG/ASUS Optical Drives
From Redump Wiki
This is a WIP page for info on compatible LG/ASUS drives. The information here used to exist at Optical Disc Drive Compatibility however it was moved here to make the main page clearer.
NOTES:
- Additional testing and analysis is still needed to determine if these drives can consistently dump media with verifiable/acceptable hashes, and at this time, submissions may not be accepted. Please contact a redump mod with any questions prior to purchasing or dumping with one of these drives.
- Dumps from the following drives will be accepted under the following circumstances:
- They are from CDs consisting only of a single data track
- They are verifications of Data CDs that also have audio tracks
- For pure Audio CDs, we are presently only accepting dumps made with redumper and drives from the list of Recommended Plextors above.
- List is still WIP at the moment, please check the Notes section before getting access to these ODDs until we've tested all five PCB Revisions from LG (HL-DT-ST).
- Could every ODD that supports M-Disc DVDs [1] and has a MediaTek (maybe even Renesas) chipset have at least one firmware version (even from a rebadged model) that support reading cache backwards and forward (OpCode: 0xF1)?
- Additional drive brands may work, some with limitations (such as can only read discs with a negative write-offset). A few LG/Asus BD drives are also compatible with DIC dumping methods, but they do need to be flashed with the Asus BW-16D1HT 3.02 firmware. Note: not all listed models have been (known) tested with DIC yet, please share your results.
- The following text/table is WIP (Work-in-Progress).
