Find Firmware for CD/DVD Rom drives?

[Ghtpua]

Hi,

How do I find what version of Firmware for CD/DVD Rom drives are? Thanks!

Firmware for a ROM drive? Or do you mean a region hack instead? But you might look to CD Freaks. http://www.cdfreaks.com/

If you are looking for a region hack, you might want to look at this article:

I just would like to find out what version of firmware I have on my computer for the CD/DVD Rom drive that I have because I want to know if I should upgrade the firmware or not because the burner is giving me trouble?

maker/model ?

IMGBURN will give info about you drive

IMGBURN will give info about you drive

And, it can also attempt to search for firmware updates (Tools > Drive > Check for Firmware Updates... - which will open your browser and run a search.) However, it's a good idea to be relatively sure you need a firmware update. How is the burner giving you trouble?

I have a NEC ND-3550A DVD±R DL Drive and I am not sure how to check what version of firmware it is?
I do not know where to go to tools it that in my computer, however, I do not see anything that says drivers there?

Use DISC INFO to find out what firmware you have on your drive.

Just unzip it to your desktop and click on the DISC INFO icon. It will tell you what firmware is on your drive and if your drive is region locked.
