Do i need my original frimware to flash the new 1.61??

hey guys,

I flashed my benq drive about a year ago and have since lost my original drive firmware.

Do i need this to be able to flash to 1.61 or during the flashing process when i pull the .bin from the drive and merge it with the v1.61 does it carry over the drive key??

thanks in advance

You can pull of the WORKIN firmware from your drive *must be working obviously* and pull out the key from there

Because 1.61 reads Wave 4 games without having to boot the Activate.iso..

1.61 worked for me, but I got console banned for MW2. I know it wasn't a bad rip.

Yea, alot of people have been getting banned for that.. So I am just going to wait until the game comes out before I use mine.. I think its too risky.. I also heard that there is a new ban wave hitting us..
