Thanks for this idea. Where can I find the 1.10 for the RS8591?

Pioneer Issue: ASUS SBC-06D2X-U with platform RS8950 and fw 1.10 is not supported.


Post the MakeMKV drive info. If it's newer firmware, did you et a firmware dump & send it in?


Thanks, no, I don't sent the dump yet. Where do I send? EDIT: Sent to svq@makemkv.com.

Thanks! I've reported it in the LibreDrive thread.

By speaking of RS8950 ...... :mrgreen:

My brother got a ASUS SBC with this drive inside. It had firmware 1.03 with enabled LibreDrive.

He's a little bit an update freak and flashed to the last firmware 1.10. Now LibreDrive is disabled and Blu-ray ripping is possible only up to 2.1x. :roll ...

I wouldn't sign that flatly. But that is also a bit of a question of faith.

The BU40N (which is installed there) is the best LG drive, also with a view to the longevity,

But $190 is too expensive.

Better to buy a used drive and flash yourself. Great information can be found here in the forum.

You are welcome. Enjoy!


Hello!
I also have such a drive.
Was wondering if you could help me out too.
Thanks in advance,

Hi, everyone.
Newcomer here, recently just bought an ASUS SBW-06D2X-U A102 that was manufactured in 2025. Would be really appreciated if anyone can tell me whether or not it can become an UHD-friendly drive. Here are some informations:

Ok, thanks Billy! Perhaps I'll risk a closer look...

Libredrive enabled may kill the the rip-lock of some drives, for the full reading speed. Otherwise it could be, that the drive is reading only up to about 2x.

Only question, no need of flashing tool right now, 'cause the drives are not mine (yet).

BDR-209BK (yes, not a MBK/DBK, only BK, prod. 2018) and BDR-209XJB (Prod. 2016)

Are the models known? Drive infos are not available.
