new Hitachi 79 is now programable

[smirnoff_rules]

Turorial:
1. Unrar the file
2. Burn the CD Image, I used ImgBurn....

3. Put 79 in Mode B
3. Insert the CD in the 79 and play the track, wait for it to finish...
4. Then press play again and straight away pause it, you should hear some noise
5. Eject the disk, using the eject button not the PC ( it does something different)
6. Run the the command in a command window
79unlock h
// where h is the drive letter of the 79
// this will error regardless, ignore the error

7. If all went well bit 4 of (0x5BD) should be set and the drive should be unlocked
8. Drive will dump and flash with Toolbox...
9. This is a tempory unlock, (0x5BD) is in RAM and would need to be done each time you power the drive, although I've posted how to by pass this with the drive unlocked with a passkey.....

10. Has not been extensively tested but worked on 6 drives to day so far...

in short ..

modeb with slax

Play WAV

play then pause WAV

run 79unlock X drive letter

Use toolbox.

do you have to use slax or can you put the drive in mode B using the connectivity kit ?.newbie ques so go easy.

[smirnoff_rules]

l used slax is so easy , but any way u put in to mode be will do l would think

[Oggy]

V78 + need modeb for slax.

Connectivity kit can be used to power the drive but will not force modeb.

If you cant get modeb through booting from Slax, you can set it in Windows, cant recall how, podger told me about it when I was wrecked on MSN .

About time this drive was 'do-able' without a chip.

Thanks to those that discovered it.

[bigzuk]

finally we waited a long time to be able to get this done without soldering on teh pass key

If you can't get it from slax v2.0 try v2.1 or the live version, 2.0 never works on my rig but live and 2.1 do for some reason.

If I couldnt get it from Slax, Id ask podger again, but its public again now (RC2)

Only need modeb for spoofing these Lite-Ons just now LMAO
