  1. Thank you mikeyfresh, I will definitely try that, thanks again...
  2. Can anyone please provide me with some step by step instructions on how to do SACD ripping directly to the USB flash drive? Here is what I already did: I have a Oppo BDP-105, 32 gb flash drive. I made the flash drive bootable using Rufus 3.5 and selecting freedos Download and copy Autorip Script A5 into the flash drive from https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8rtxv0foswatda1/AADp_O6v-pyfx0ALmuUQUn48a?dl=0 Turn my Oppo BDP-105 on, then insert the Flash drive. The tray opens up. Place the SACD and closes the tray. Then I push play, but nothing happens?? What am I doing wrong?? Please help...
  3. This is funny as we are actually talking about the same thing. Its just the definition of the "boot" is what we differ, just as you said, the disk has to have an MBR in it in order for it to work, all I am saying is that it is actually is actually reading this first sector and giving the machine its first instruction from the moment the disk is inserted, and this is what I call booting from the drive. Its just terminology my friend. For me, the booting is its ability to read the first instructions as soon as whatever it is, is inserted and take extra control from then on. Whether it is called MBR or whatever, it does not matter, it is its ability to get the first instruction is what I call booting. Whatever you call this process, booting or whatever, it does not matter, we are talking about the same process, just different name.
  4. This is true, but it is also clear that it needs this MBR to find and load this Autoscript files. Booting does not seem to indicate just loading the operating system, but loading whats on the first sector of the inserted storage device.
  5. Like I said, my stick was low level formatted, meaning totally blanked out, nothing in it, no partitioning whatsoever. And I guess what I meant was, your stick has to have an MBR partition in it, in order to work. With MBR in it, that makes your stick bootable, that is why its called Master Boot Record. It may boot to a Dos operating system or whatever, and in our case, it boots to whatever is in that Autoscript folder and loads whatever it is in it. Well, as long as it works, I am happy.
  6. I did a little test. I low level format my usb stick. This erases everything. Then I copy the Autoscript folder, then tried it. Nothing happens. So I went back and run rufus-2.11p.exe, this creates a partition with master boot record on the stick and place some boot files on the stick also. Then, I just manually delete all the files on the stick that I can see, and copy the Autoscript folder and tried it, and now it works. The MBR is a hidden partition on the the stick, and this allow the system to load whats on the Autoscript. One can easily mistake a stick to be empty when it actually has an MBR partition in it already. Some new stick being sold with some files in it usually has the MBR partition in it already and one can delete all the files in it, but the MBR is still in it. If I am not mistaken, high level formatting will not delete the MBR partition. Low level formatting is the only way it can be deleted. So all I am saying is that if your stick would not work, then try this rufus-2.11p.exe and create an MBR partition on your stick and see if it works. If it still does not work, then I believe that the machine is probably not compatible. Try it, its not going to hurt.
  7. Like I said, it did not work for me on a virgin USB stick, I had to make it bootable for it to work. I was just thinking out loud that the stick that people are using may have been bootable already in the first place. Just my observation. The stick may already have an MBR in it already. Those are hidden files I believe. Anyways, if it works for you, then no problem then.
  8. Perhaps, maybe it needs to be bootable for the Oppo 105D, I dont know, just want to share my experience.
  9. I have an Oppo 105D, and at first I followed everything, from all the instruction and I could not make the Oppo respond. I low lever format and high level format my USB stick to fat32. My stick is a 4GB one. Place the the Autoscript folder in it with the three files, turn on my Oppo, then insert the USB stick in front of the player and nothing happens. I tried a few times with different stick and still nothing happens. Then I realized that the player would not boot from the USB stick, and so what I did is make the stick BOOTABLE. I search the net on how to do it, then placed the Autoscript folder on the root with all the boot files in it. So I tried it again on my Oppo, and lo and behold, the tray opens up, went over to my PC, run the .CMD file with the correct ip address and it works like a charm. I have been reading this thread and I dont see anybody mentioning that the USB stick HAS to be bootable inorder for the player to boot from it. Now I am not sure if my observation is correct, but it works for me. Hope this post is useful.
