Re: LG WH16NS60 with 1.00 firmware

i started seeing these a few years ago something is off with them as LG would not ship them with 1.00 and lg does not sell the WH16NS60 anymore in most countries
but they are obviously for the Chinese market so maybe they are from the same factory.

Re: Recommendation for best (most reliable and versatile) LibreDrive for 2024?

Hello. I live in Italy. I want to buy a BDR-212V. I saw offers on Amazon.com, Amazon.it and eBay. The American Amazon and eBay have better prices. The question is: are they still coming with the firmware to activate LibreDrive? just be careful the runtech media seller is sending out a lot of return...

Likely a power issue since it's happening at 0 alot
Use a higher power USB port or get high powered USB hub 35+ watts

Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

we dont know yet if mk fw will enable UHD reading or if you will need to cross flash we will see in the next few months Hmm. It's rather difficult to justify the purchase not knowing whether it will actually work for UHD or not, on the other hand it's sure to sell out soon if I wait. What a gamble....

Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

Does anybody know anything about the BDR-WX01DME which seems to be the only Pioneer drive available to purchase new in the UK now? How does it compare to the coveted BDR-X13/S13?

Thanks for the quick reply. I have it now plugged into a USB3 with the dedicated power cable attached as well but it's still failing to read the disc. When inserted it starts to spin, with disc information showing "Disc is being loaded" but eventually gives me the same output as before. a...
