Hi everyone, Today, I’ll show you how to update the LiteOn DU-8A5LH firmware. This is important as firmware updates should improve the drive operation, including better reading and burning stability. Recently, I tried to burn a SmartBuy DVD+R DL disc but it failed at the beginning of the 2nd layer. The drive had an older firmware, so I updated it and we’ll see if this improves double layer burning at another post. For now, let’s see the steps to update…
Hi everyone, Today, we will see how well a SmartBuy DVD+R DL disc burns in the LiteOn DU-8A5LH drive: This unit supports burning these discs at a speed of 3x, 4x and 6x. This post will focus on a disc burned at 6x. Burning the disc seemed to have gone well until it switched to the 2nd disc layer: Unfortunately, the drive could not burn this disc successfully. I retried it and it seems this time it worked: This drive…
Hi everyone, After weeks of waiting, finally I received my copy of WarioWare: Get It Together for the Nintendo Switch. This game is the newest entry to the WarioWare game franchise and the first for the Nintendo Switch. It was released on Friday, September 10, 2021, but due to Amazon delaying my order, it is why I got it today. Here, we will see the box art and the game cartridge, kind of like an unboxing. Let’s see the game…
Hi everyone, This year, one of the most awaited movies was Disney’s Cruella. This movie had its theatrical release on May 28, 2021 and was simultaneously released on Disney+ with Premiere Access. This movie is now available to watch on Disney+ for free, given that its 3-month exclusive Premiere Access period is already over. This week, we also got the Home Release of this movie on DVD, Blu-Ray, and 4K UHD Blu-Ray. As usual, this also means that Redbox will…
Hi everyone, Today, we got a new entry in the Walt Disney Record: The Legacy Collection soundtrack series. To commemorate the 25th anniversary of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Walt Disney Records has released The Legacy Collection: The Hunchback of Notre Dame soundtrack. While today should have been the official launch date (Maybe for the CD version), the album has been available for a few days on streaming services. I listened to this 2-disc album version yesterday and I can…

Hi everyone, It’s been a long time since I’ve shared some news on my DLNA Player software. Truth is, I’ve been taking a break on working on personal projects. I’ve been mostly watching movies and resting, but these days I’ve decided to start working on some software again. In this post, I’d like to tell you what have been integrated in the software. In terms of the user interface, not much has changed. There’s now a new Options menu where…
NOTE: This post was originally posted in Spanish on August 11, 2018. I’m posting the English language translation today. Hi everyone, Today, I’ve took some time to improve my “DLNA Player” software, which is capable of streaming music tracks to DLNA-Enabled players. Up to this point, the software was able to play back local files as well as music files stored on Google Drive. It wasn’t able to play Audio CD tracks. Because I have a bunch of Audio CDs,…
So, now that we have successfully downloaded the Windows UUP files, created the ISO image, and optionally patched the Windows 11 ISO, now it’s time to burn it to a DVD. While today most people prefer to make a bootable USB drive, burning the image to a DVD have the advantage of archiving it for later use, while a USB drive may be formatted later for additional use. I always prefer to burn the images to disc because they provide…
Hi everyone, Today, I’d like to show you some very simple steps to create a modified Windows 11 ISO image to allow it to install and upgrade on older hardware. As you may know by now, the official requirements for Windows 11 are a machine that has a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0, must have Secure Boot enabled, and an 8th-gen Intel CPU or 2nd-gen AMD Ryzen CPU or higher. This means it excludes older, perfectly working machines. For example,…
