Hey Marty, I flashed my BU4ON to MK1.03 and it still works but when I insert a UHD disk the drive icon in makemkv just never stops spinning. I also tried flashing the BU4ON 1.00 and the buffalo BU firmware and I get the same result. do you have any advice? I tried it with two different UHD disks bu...

My BDR-XS07 has become enabled when it was not before, at least on windows. My verbatim BU4ON says possible, not yet enabled which is the same as before. I have screenshots and firmware dumps. https://drive.proton.me/urls/P3BWP401SM#UqwsC9OveAVr The Verbatim contains a LG BU40N. These must be flash...

What is the current status of the BDR-212DBK 5.25" internal drive? As far as I am aware, all 212DBK's still have firmware that is pre 12/2022 so can be cross-flashed (unless someone has updated it). Thanks. Does the cross-flashing involve an additional cost? Are there any other Pioneer 5.25&qu...

Somewhat off topic, but I'm curious what people use, if anything, for UHD playback solutions for ripped/duplicated (decrypted) discs? I'm fairly late to the game for UHD. The prevailing storage method seems to be hard-drive/NAS of either full-size or re-encoded ripped .mkv files. I have 8TiB for my...

Why not? I understood that logic when Pioneer were producing drives but now that they aren't and Libredrive is being enabled across many more drives, what is the issue? I don't want to speculate. The author asked us not to share it so we (well at least I do) respect this. Fair enough. How would one...

>I prefer BU40N 1.00 as it is the original firmware and is compatible with all popular ripping software... I will keep the firmware at the BU40N 1.00 level since I would not gain anything by changing it. (I have the option to update it later if found to be helpful.) Thank you for you expert advice ...

How? Why can't the flasher be made available for download now? Because the person that wrote it does not want it publicly available. Why not? I understood that logic when Pioneer were producing drives but now that they aren't and Libredrive is being enabled across many more drives, what is the issu...

Who told you this? Even if it is a pre-2023 Pioneer with LibreDrive enabled, it does not mean it will do UHD discs. It must be an "ultra HD ready" Pioneer model or you need to flash the firmware to UHD model. Most of these drives can be crossflashed for UHD. How? Why can't the flasher be ...

I'm running on the WH14NS40. Will the 60 version of 1.02 MK be incompaible or worse brick my drive?

WH16NS60 1.02-MK is the recommended firmware version for your drive.

Thanks Marty, Is there somewhere I can download a specific SDF for that drive? Never had that issue until this drive. Not sure what's different, I'm using T-Mo Home Internet. Also, for more clarification, I haven't set the drive region within Windows yet either. I am not sure if I even need to. Tho...

I wanted to create a written document that I could follow in the future for flashing the firmware for LG BP50NB40 SVC:NB52. (I really like this drive and may purchase another one.) I followed the animated GIF video information for details. I later saw another fellow on Youtube (https://www.youtube....

I just tried to flash it again using Powershell instead of the GUI and its still doing the same. I reflashed it to DE_LG_BP50NB40-NB50_1.03_MK and then flashed it to DE_LG_BP60NB10-NB12_1.02-MK incase the BU40N bin was the issue and it still says its on an unpatched version of BU40N 1.0 even after ...

Hi, Recently purchased a few uhd discs and updated my drive with LibreDrive flashed to BU40N 1.00. Drive will read regular BluRay fine but every uhd I try will seek for 2 mins then sleep and say no disc found. Model: BP50NB40-NB52 You should copy/paste your MakeMKV drive info & libredrive info ...
