Add WH16NS40 firmware v1.02 #152

Closed nvllsvm closed 1 month ago

I keep my drive on this firmware for the sake of opcode 0xF1 support when using DiscImageCreator.

How is redumper involved in your struggle with DIC? I would not be adding same hardware with different firmware just because.

nvllsvm commented 1 month ago

Ignore my mention of DIC. I opened this PR because redumper fails to identify the correct settings when using this drive with an older firmware.

Anyway - Firmware v1.02 supports opcode 0xF1 while v1.05 does not. To not waste your time, I'll do some more tests and get some proof before reopening.

If you check drive list, you will see that there is only one hardware combination for each drive. That is, if you own a drive that might be supported, the idea is to upgrade the firmware. This is also a good idea because usually updated firmware fixes issues. Redumper doesn't fail to identify the drive, redumper purposedly designed this way. If you're using drive with non latest known firmware, you should either update it to conform or use it in GENERIC mode.

While I was seemingly able to read the cache using fw v1.02 and --drive-type=LGASU8C, I ended up cross-flashing to Ribshark's BW-16D1HT v3.10 that has lead-out unlocked. Works fine on my WH16NS40.

Leaving this PR closed.
