Re: Supported: hp HLDS BDRE BU50N Rev BW50

Hey Mike - On a whim I popped in a disc today and bam, it opened it in LibreDrive mode and just worked! I was asking about this drive about a month ago and it was indicated that as a hp variant it may not work correctly but here we are and it is now working perfectly. Thanks for all the hard work, ...

Re: NEW OPTION: 'UHD Friendly' Firmware Downgrade / Cross-Flash Using Official (Modified) ASUS Flasher for ASUS & LG Dri

I have made a couple of updates to the ASUS Flasher. 1. (FIX) I found out a few days ago that the application was previously unable to flash BU40N drives. It works fine now. 2. (UPDATE) The application doesn't like really long firmware file names (such as the one's from Mike), so it edits the name d...

Re: I'm sorry, I can't figure out this Libredrive thing.

I've tried reading what happened, but for some reason I just can't wrap my head around it. All I know is MakeMKV used to work, and now it doesn't, and I can't figure out how to make it work. I've tried downloading an older version of MakeMKV, but that doesn't seem to work either. I have an "AS...

Hi, I bought the Asus BW-16D1H-U, but it does not seem to work.
Please help..
You should have done some research before purchasing that drive!! As has been said, the "-U" version is not UHD capable and most likely never will be.

Re: UHD USB drives (or laptop slimline?)

Hi All- Apologies if this is covered elsewhere...I tried to search for relevant terms and didn't see anything obvious. I use MacOS on a MacBook Pro and MacMini. Both those use slimline laptop drives. Are there any MacOS friendly UHD drives that are either: 1) slimline that can retrofit into either ...

Is anyone able to create the required .iso with WinPE, the Asus FW changer and ASUS-BW-16D1HT-3.03-WM00000-211801191558.bin file on it and upload it to WeTransfer or somewhere?

Re: Asus BW-16D1HT 3.03

@mfraz74,

I don't think it will work that way.

Just create and boot from a windows10PE usb stick and it will take all of 30 seconds to flash the drive.

Hi guys & gals, I am selling the Archgon MD-8107S-U3-UHD (LG BU40N) I purchased last week as I don't really need it. I already have 4 drives for personal use. I don't need a 5th! It is still brand new. I only took it out of the box and connected it to my PC to check UHD compatibility. Here is a ...

Re: Recommended drives (2019)

I was considering buying a BluRay drive, mostly for ripping and writing. After starting to research this, it sounds like the question of model is not simple. Apparently some of the recommendations from last year are no longer valid, due to changes in firmware, etc. I'd like to avoid re-flashing fir...

What software other than WinPE do I need to upgrade to MK 3.03?
The ASUS windows flasher + firmware

viewtopic.php?f=16&t=18933

and/or the MK firmware (see previous post from SamuriHL) if you want to stay on 3.03 firmware.

Hi all, Just letting you know, I have 1 x LG BH16NS55 drive left from a delivery arriving on tuesday. I can also order (depending on availability) the LG BU40N with/without enclosure or the LG WH16NS60 from USA on request. These take around 3 weeks for delivery to Australia (plus the few days for me...
