Hi guys, I have 3 Liteon iHas124-06 B drives, all are flashed to the respective ixtreme burner Max firmware successfully.
Now in the default settings in epprom, all the disc will burn successfully but verfication will always fail at 50%.

I have tried with both cheap and Verbatim MKM 001 media, both will fail at 50% and also with all the settings and tweak's that was posted here in TX forums were also tried by me without any success. So after wasting about 20 odd cheap media and about 10 verbatim's I have no choice currently but to burn my disc via the truncation method on another LG writer that I have.

Now the real catch is here.... My two friends also bought the exact same drive from the same shop, flashed their drive and without any tweaks they are able to write and verify all their cheap disc's(same one's that I also used) perfectly and all games are running without any issues on their and my console too.
The only difference I was able to find was chipset, I am using the latest Z68 chipset and they both have old intel 945 chipset. So this prove's that the problem is not because of the disc quality but because of the chipset compatibility with the drive. So there is definitely some issue with the firmware causing this issue which I hope will soon be rectified by the C4eva.

And yes I also tried swapping my friend's drive with mine, so now my drive on my friends pc writes xgd3 perfectly with 100% verified and his drive on my pc will again fail, so this also proves that the drive's are perfect without any issues in them.

I hope TX and C4eva will look into this issue so all the people who are facing this issue will get their problem's solved.

Thanx to C4eva, TX and Team Jungle for all their work. :)

Me to the same issues.

But to me i can write the verbatim dvd+R dl made in Singapore fine but the made in india i must make clear opc history BEFORE every write to have successful verification.

Me to i want the c4eva release one better and more stable firmware for the 6 liteon ihas pc dvd-rw drives to me more compatible with dvd+r dl except verbatim.

Will see if that happened or not because DON'T have any clue if c4eva work on newer ixtreme burner max fw or not.

No i don't run many programs when i write xgd3 games.
My pc specs are:
Cpu : intel core2duo 2.8ghz
Ram: 4gb ddr2
Hdd: Western digital 320gb 7200 rpm sata
Svga: Ati radeon hd 5650 512mb ddr5
Os: Windows 7 64 bit ultimate
Dvdrw: Liteon ihas124b & one lg ide atapi.

I believe all these specifications are more than enough to burn xgd3 games with ixtreme burner max fw and liteon ihas 124b isn't they?

My pc is i7 2600k, asus p8z68v pro mobo, and while writing i dont run any programs in background, i keep my pc idle. I also know more people here who are facing this issue with good config's but what i experienced is that people having entry level config have better success rate, and both my friends have entry level config.

i have the same problem on my new i5 setup.

could be an issue with the chipset or i think it maybe the AHCI setting.

there is a registry fix that forces devices into IDE mode but i havent tried it yet as after the burn the games work fine and get a good result from kprobe
