OmniDrive is a custom firmware modification for MediaTek MT1959-based Hitachi-LG optical disc drives that unlocks raw sector reading, lead-in/lead-out access, and reading of proprietary game console discs. It is built from stock firmware images using a CMake/armips toolchain and flashed onto drives via tools like MakeMKV's sdftool.
Use cases
- dump raw sectors from CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs
- read proprietary game discs from Xbox, PlayStation, GameCube, and Wii consoles
- preserve optical media with lead-in and lead-out data
- patch LG BU40N and ASUS BW-16D1HT drive firmware
- rip UHD Blu-ray and BD-XL discs with raw addressing
- build custom drive firmware for disc archival with redumper
When to choose
- you need raw, low-level reads from an optical drive for archival or preservation
- you want to dump proprietary console game discs with a commodity drive
- you have a compatible MT1959-based slim or desktop drive and stock firmware to patch
When to avoid
- your drive is not an MT1959-based Hitachi-LG model like the BU40N or BW-16D1HT
- you only need standard user-level disc ripping without raw sector access
- you are unwilling to flash modified firmware onto your hardware
