I just grabbed DICUI to dump a disc using my PX716A, which was running firmware 1.07. When this drive is connected, DICUI just silently dies and plays the fail tones that DiscImageCreator.exe plays when you run it without arguments. I wasn't sure what was going on, so I ran the command to dump manually using the program in the Programs folder, and I saw exactly what was going on:

DiscImageCreator.exe returns this:
DiscImageCreator.exe cd h "image.bin" 24 /c2 /nl
AppVersion
x86, AnsiBuild, 20180619 20619
/c2 val1 is omitted. set [4000]
/c2 val2 is omitted. set [0]
CurrentDirectory
C:\Applications\DiscImageCreator\Programs
WorkingPath
Argument: image.bin
FullPath: C:\Applications\DiscImageCreator\Programs\image
Drive: C:

[ERROR] This drive isn't latest firmware. Please update.

This error is being silently dropped by DICUI, not even running it via command line shows it. After I updated the drive to 1.11 firmware, DICUI now starts up correctly.
