Honest question, with the supported drives being harder and harder to find, is anyone going to crack this nut for new drives or create something new that works? Or is this hobby going to slowly die as people's drives die? I've been trying to find a backup drive in case another one dies but can't ...

Thanks for the reply - yes, I've been trying using the original USB-A y-cable. I've tried plugging it into two USB 3.0 ports on my laptop and I even tried plugging both cables into this powered USB hub and it still wouldn't read.

When I put in the UHD disc, the drive will make a click/honk/skid ...

I have a BP50NB40 SVC 52 (manufactured in March 2024 if that matters) and it seems like I've flashed it to a UHD-enabled firmware (it's recognized in MakeMKV), but the drive will not read UHD discs. I've followed the steps a bunch of times and no matter what I do, the drive refuses to ...

Hi all,

I recently purchased a used LG BU40N drive, which appears to have been pulled from a Toshiba Dynabook laptop. It currently has an OEM firmware version "TK03" (Firmware date: 2019-05-10).

I would like to flash it to enable LibreDrive, and I have prepared the "All You Need Firmware Pack ...

An update.

BW-16D1X-U MT1959, flashed WP50NB40-NB50 1.03 MK, LibreDrive enabled, eject button no longer works. In SDFTool RECOVER mode, which target firmware should I select: BP60NB10 1.02-MK, BP60NB10-NB12 1.02-MK, BU40N 1.00, or BU40N 1.03-MK?


Isn't this a 5.25" drive??? If so, WTF are you ...

I have been trying to rip the 4K version of Avatar Fire and Ash. I used 2 different Drives: A Buffalo BU10 MO5KC1A4439d and a Pioneer mDisc drive I bought from OWC. Both are external USB drives. The Pioneer gets its power from a power brick. The Buffalo has a double USB pigtail, one USB for data ...

The disc was released in 2025 and I bought it like 6 weeks ago, so it should be in decent working order.
Yes I tried cleaning the disc with lens cleaning wipes (I'm a hobbyist photographer so I have plenty of stuff to clean up objective lenses), and I also gave it that static rub you mentioned to ...

Ah. This already helps me. The flashing process went through without any message.
The shown version looked curious to me, but let's face it, I have no clue about that.
So I thought, maybe it just doesn't override the name.
I will try some other older firmware, maybe it will step down from them ...

Quite honestly, I don't know what to think about this. The logical explanation would be that this disc copy protection is tampering with my drives ability to read it, we had this a while ago with copy protected CD and car CD players for instance. But the thing is I don't see myself spending around ...

I have heard the BH16NS58 is the same as the WH16NS60.
I see a few firmware files in the mk firmware pack that could work with my drive. Do I flash "HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BH16NS50-1.03-NM00400-212004210958.bin" firmware or do I need the "HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin" or the "HL ...

No worries, I've edited the initial post to clarify the status of my drives, especialy the one that is patched. But I am pointing out again that this appears with a regulard HD blu-ray, not a 4K UHD blu-ray as you might expect with an unpatched drive, except mine is.


Unfortunately not every ...

Hello,

I am curently encountering this odd issue I so far only encountered with 4k UHD disc before patching the firmware. Except this time it happens with a HD blu-ray and I am not aware of a new version of the patched firmware.
I have bought the french blu-ray for 'Jo' a movie featuring de funes ...

Hey, I bought a LG WP50NB40 and I'm currently trying to flash it.
Revision: 1.03
Firmware date: 2121-07-08 16:09

I have the SFDTool installed. I select my drive and choose DE_LG_BP50NB40-NB50_1.01_MK_HBD.bin. It starts with sending to drive but then I get an error.
First error I received was ...
