Hello,
A number of years ago I flashed a BW-16D1HT with a firmware that enabled LibreDrive all works well.
I have a library of Xbox360 games that I would now like to preserve and believe to make that possible the drive needs re flashing with a Omnidrive firmware.
Do the tools required to do this still exist as I keep hitting quite a lot of dead download links I guess because it's been quite some time since any updates.
I don't seem to be able to find the "SDF Tool Flasher utility" or the required replacement firmware for the drive.
Are the tools/firmware still available or is there now an alternative way to unlock the drive for xbo360 disk reading.
Cheers, Ian

Hello,
For the record, this is not really the right forum for this. On the MakeMKV forum, you will mostly find people who want to rip movies.
Anyway, this is not entirely off-topic either, since doing what you want will require using the tools we use, so :
You need this : https://makemkv.com/download/old/Setup_ ... 1.18.4.exe
As well as this : https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/ ... 9.zip/file
And finally this : https://archive.org/download/OmniDrive_ ... -1.0.4.bin
After installing version 1.18.4 of MakeMKV (do *not* use the newest 2.0.0 version, it is broken), use SDFtool Flasher to flash the bin file to your drive. Regular WRITE, no encryption, no bootloader, no RECOVER.
Then, you will need redumper : https://github.com/superg/redumper
Please read the manual carefully. There is also this Windows GUI for redumper (I have yet to test it, though) : https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF
