I was wondering if slysoft would consider creating a paid software application similar to binflash and flasher
The problem with both of these is that they don't support HP's firmware encryption of their optical drives. This means that we can't back up the firmware of the drive and more importantly can't install new updates directly from the manufacturer.
For example, i have the Sony Optiarc BC-5500S with hp 1.83 firmware, this supports 2x bluray reading. Sony's latest official firmware is v1.06 and has many fixes in it and supports 4x reading.
I'm sure quite a few of your customers would happily pay for a binflash/flasher type application that could break the encryption of drives such as HP's. I'd love to have 4x ripping, it would literally halve the time of ripping a bluray to my laptop.
Please consider creating such an application, flasher's sourcecode is open source so quite a bit of the hard work is already done for you.
