I'm going to say it's a rip off of what we can already do here.

Linux user here. I have little interest in OmniDrive, given that the only game discs I'm interested in currently are PS3 discs (and OmniDrive isn't required for those), but I was curious about this, so I decided to give it a shot. I downloaded OmniDrive from here : https://archive.org/download/Omni...

I'm looking at a drive from October 2023. Does anyone have any insight on that month? Thanks. Have the seller send you picture of the drive ejected and showing the front face plate. If you see Asus on the tray front face plate it is a BH50N a LG 16NS40 drive. If you see a plan looking front face pl...

How do you have the drive hooked up?
The Info in Makemkv is incomplete.
I would return it.

I wonder if this is a smart buy, a new in box BDR-XD05R2, it's an auction, not just sure what it's worth, it is a pioneer after all :) I have the first gen BDR-XD05W and it is crossed flashed to DR-XD06U. Works really well. Rips UHD and all other media formats with no issues. You will not be disapp...

Seeing to many people here flashing drives and bricking them.

Before you try flashing your LG/Asus drives check to make you see 2015.05.08 printed on the back pcb board next to the sata/power port. If it's not there do not cross flash it.

Seller on eBay has tons of used Pioneer drives in the model rang of 05 to 209 with cheap shipping.

PIONEER BD-RW BDR-UD03/UD04
Revision 1.14
Firmware data: 2020-06-15

Looks like so far from what I have found both UD03/UD04 have the same firmware rev. 1.14 2020-06-15. So Maybe the 12/22+ might have a rev. 1.15?

So it sounds like you have bumped into a UD03 with 12/22+ firmware? What's the firmware version? (Just curious. Not that I have any lead for the UD04 firmware. Sorry.) No, while Billycarr11 was helping me to unlock my 2022/22+ BDR-XD05W for UHD I happened to find the XD06 2022/22+ firmware to do so...

Yeah trying to find the UD04 new firmware is like trying to find a Unicorn in the wild. There was site that did have the new firmware but the link no longer works. Hopefully someone might have it and share it here.

Have you ever come across an Asus BW‑16D1H‑U Pro with a serial number starting with M4…? I'm wondering what's inside that unit. Looks like manufacturing date of April 2021. If the BW-16D1H-U follows the same pattern as the BW-1601X-U then it should have a Pioneer inside. Thanks for the information....

If you find the new firmware please contact Billycarr11. Need that firmware to enable UHD for UD03. I've turned over every stone possible on the internet and yet to find the newest UD04 firmware. Did the UD04 come bare or did it come in a enclosed case? If in a enclosed case what brand is it?

pioneerfan,

Just sent you a PM.

Thanks

@Oneday do you think that switch pcb part from my 12b1ht to the bw-16b1ht could work ?

To be quite honest I would say no. I'm not familiar with the Asus 12b1ht. Also hardware differences would make things non compatible.
