Re: SDFtool Flasher

I just downloaded the tool but does not show up correctly on my windows 11 machine. It appears that the windows is too small and I can not see the check marks and the text is cutoff. Windows will not let me make the window bigger. From the first post. NOTE: If the GUI looks a bit deformed (happens ...

Re: Flashing Verbatim 43888 from Linux

Hi, just got the 43888 and have not been able to flash from Linux (I don't have anything with Windows). When I use makemkvcon from the shell there is simply no response at all to the flash command. Other commands do work. I am using PopOS which is Ubuntu based. I usually used the MakeMKV flatpak wh...

Re: LG WH16NS40, mfg Aug ‘14 - reports 1939 w/ 1959 chip inside?

So I located an old LG WH16NS40 drive, but noted that it was manufactured before 2016 (2014 08 26 from label). When I open MKV it shows MT1939 as does the firmware updating tool posted here on these forums. I decided to open it for laughs and inside found a MediaTek MT1959UWDN chip, which I’m guess...

Re: UHD Enabled Drives (Australia, NZ & Singapore among others!) & DIY "Single Drive Flasher UI" available worldwide!!

Stock levels updated in first post. All Pioneer branded drives are now gone! There will be no more. I do still have some Verbatim 43887's with the Pioneer BDR-UD03 cross-flashed to BDR-UD04 firmware for UHD compatibility available. I have very limited stock of the Verbatim 43888's & 43889's with...

Re: Are there any UHD external drives rip capacity out of the box?

I get really confused and overwhelmed with all of the threads in this forum relating to UHD drives and all of the talk of flashing.
