BenQ drives to be flashable by software - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

The benq drive has been confirmed that it will be flashed by software alone which is good news. There will be internal testing this weekend and then it should be released in the not to distant future hopefully. The Hitachi 79 drive is the only awkward one at the moment that requires a chip to be able to flash. It would be nice if they developed a method of doing it by software alone but we cant have everything i suppose!!!

Just to keep everyone informed there has been a software released that will READ the firmware off the drive so you can get the key off the BenQ drives dosflash 1.3 beta. You can get the key and then inject it into another drive that you have. You dont need to do any soldering like what was involved before it is totally software dependant. The firmware should be out soon but there is no eta on it just yet as soon as i find any more info on this subject i will post it here.

u play online at your own risk
i did for about a year untill getting caught out now im banned
but the other thing to think about is its only the console that is banned and not the user name
so u can have a hacked box to play copies an an orginal to play online with orginal games if you like
or you can just take your chance an play online with your hacked box
