Yes. 8600 drives flash to S11 V1 and 8601 drives flash to S11 V2 but this doesnt matter for the end user. Just regarding the fitting firmware. Can you pm me too to help me? Can this drive be flashed to work with 4k? Drive Information OS device name: F: Manufacturer: ASUS Product: BW-12D1S-U Revisio...

i have tried to get pioneer to start production offering to buy 5,000 drives it was met with silence See this post by asmcom . Pioneer sold their optical drive business to Shanxi Lightchain, so you'd need to contact Shanxi Lightchain, not Pioneer. They've told asmcom that they'd be willing to resta...

@MartyMcNuts yes, the BDR-UD03 drive is of interest. I had a look at Ebay and the pictures, do you know what manufacturing date range the units have in the verbatim case. And do they all come with 1.14 firmware ? I have learned that the BDR-UD04 drive is crappy but the BDR-UD03 hardware is much mor...

new archgons cant be flashed in the case and libredrive also wont work in them for not either

Billy, in your guide you mention that the new Archgon doesn't support flashing but you don't mention that it also prevents Libredrive. Maybe you should do an addendum for that issue.

Will there be a chance in the near future to unlock BDXL drives, e.g. Pioneer BDR X13JBK, to read UHD formats? Is there anything more known yet?

Post your Makemkv info. If pre Dec. 2022 there is a chance.

@Coopervid aha.

Ok, so I only use that device for reading or checking quality of the burn. I understand. Then I only have to get one of these drives, flash it and use it for quality checks.

Now you got it.

@Coopervid aha, ok. Yeah from what I understand a Vinpower device is just better firmware for duplication (replication) but the hardware was the same as in a regular drive. On Amazon I can see in the comments that someone wrote Manufacture date: Nov. 2024 Manufacturer firmware: 1.V9 Sad that Vinpow...

I had a closer look at the list under FAQ and checked my hardware. I have no hardware that will work with opti drive control. Besides I would need a BluRay unit anyway, it is OK if I need to patch a unit to get one working. It is only for checking the discs. It might get hold of a Verbatim drive ne...

Hello, I currently have the opportunity to buy a BDR-X12UBK from a local guy. I was wondering if it was possible to use it to rip UHD blurays or if it is flashable. I have seen another thread asking this question but there was no answer as the rest of the discussion continued in PMs. I cannot post ...

Is there anyone who can help me with this. What hardware still works with opti drive control. There seems to be other tools as well like Nero CD-DVD speed and Plextools or what the name was. Anyway there is a list on the opti site about hardware but it only has the CD, DVD hardware. I want to check...
