associated with or supported by LiteOn. Loading this patched firmware will
technically void your warranty. I take NO RESPONSIBILITY for anything that may
result from the use or misuse of this patched firmware. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

###
# Changes between this and the official firmware:
#
1) +RW/-RW discs will be read at 12x/14x/16x CAV (originally 8x CAV)
2) +R/-R discs will be read at 12x/14x/16x CAV (originally 8x CAV)
3) The DVD-Video riplock has been removed.

###
# Installation:
#
Use MtkWinFlash to load the the .BIN firmware onto your LTD-163D/XJ-HD163D.
WARNING: Make sure that you select the correct drive when flashing!
(MtkWinFlash page: http://digi.rpc1.org/mwf.htm)

###
# Notes:
#
1) There are THREE versions of this patched firmware! One to increase the
reading speed of burnt media to 12x, one to increase it to 14x, and one to
increase it to the full 16x. Use the one what works best for you, your
drive, and your media. Note that with faster reading speeds, it's possible
that your drive will encounter reading problems towards the end of the disc,
which is why it may not always be desirable to read at the full 16x.
2) There are two firmware revisions included. The latest officially released
firmware is GH5S, and the latest known firmware is GH5Y.
3) Except for the name, the XJ-HD drives should be the same as the LTD- drives.
Their firmwares should be interchangeable.

1) Thanks go out to The Dangerous Brothers (TDB) for their consultation. They
answered a few questions that I had when I was making the 48161H patched
firmware, and those answers were helpful here.
2) And of course, I would like to thank C0deKing in general for the help and
support he's given me.

This patched firmware is based on the GH5S and GH5Y firmwares.

2) Much thanks also go out to booma for testing this patched firmware. As I do
not have a 165H, this would not have been possible without his help and
testing.

This patched firmware is based on the official CH12 firmware from LiteOn.
