RibShark has recently released the 'OmniDrive' firmware for specific blu-ray drives that adds many new dumping features.
Notably, OmniDrive enables dumping XGD (Xbox/Xbox360) and Nintendo (GameCube/Wii) discs.

You can learn more and find the flashing instructions here: http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=OmniDrive
This replaces the old custom ASUS BW-16D1HT firmware that was previously recommended.
OmniDrive is open source, you can learn more here: https://github.com/RibShark/OmniDrive/

Redumper (build 705 onwards) and MPF (3.7.0 onwards) have been updated to support OmniDrive features. Download MPF for Windows here: https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF/relea … elease.zip

The OmniDrive compatible drives are now all acceptable for submissions of new CD dumps in redump, including the LG BU40N.

The custom firmware by MoriGM for the 353C family of DVD drives is also now acceptable for CD-ROM discs (no Audio tracks).

See http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= … bility:_CD for the latest information on drive eligibility.

Thank you to everyone involved in making these new features possible!

Just want to say thanks so much to RibShark, this is an amazing update! Hopefully eventually Giga Discs will be supported but still amazing!

As a side note all these drives have been recently discontinued and in the states at least are getting very hard if not impossible to find. All the half height desktop drives are oos but the Bp/Wp50nb40, and BU40n's are still somewhat available. If you want to grab some of these drives now is the time.

History is much like an endless waltz. The three beats of war, peace and revolution continue on forever.
