I just wanted to pop in and say that I purchased two Pioneer S13U-X drives from Billy and they arrived quickly, and in perfect cosmetic condition and working order. Excellent communication, helpful, courteous, and the fact that he was able to even make these drives able to use the old firmware is ph...

Make sure to contact the sellers ahead of time and get their guarantee that it's an older drive (as in they had it untouched in storage prior to December 2022 at the earliest, or that the date of manufacture listed on the drive is prior to December 2022 (and ask them if the drive has been used/has h...

You need to install the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013. They have x86 and 64bit versions, I installed both just in case. I found out about this after having your exact same issue. Tried the last version and got the "not found" message. Then I tried an older Jap...

A small update. The new drives Pioneer sends out have the 1.04 firmware installed so all the issues that come with it. Can't even play UHD's without error on PC's with Intel SGX (tried it on two different systems). Absolutely garbage firmware.

Just submitted the dump file for the 1950 animated Disney Cindarella UHD Also noticed Vinegar Syndrome's Primal Rage UHD was already rippable (even though it is about 1 day old) so no dump file needed there.

Just submitted it. I've submitted some other disks before I started posting (Terrifier 2 UHD this past December, a handful of others in the past), but will try to keep up to date by posting them in the future.

I just checked what I bought them for (already flashed) and lowered the prices. Mind you I bought them before I was able to UHD friendly flash drives myself as well (I've flashed older br drives to make them region free, just didn't want to screw around with these drives off the bat). I wrote in the...

Up for sale are four different internal optical disk drives for desktop pc's, three are UHD friendly, one is a combo Blu-Ray and HD-DVD drive. All drives were cleaned with 91% isopropyl alcohol and an anti-static microfiber cloth on the outside and with a laser cleaning disk for the inside (save for...

Hello everybody. My dream is to play UHD discs on PC. So, I have an Amd cpu, and I would like to know if this downgrade method is only for copying discs or also for playing directly through powerdvd, for example?

I have always been able to play through Powerdvd with the flashed drives.

I recently took an hd-dvd capable drive out of one of my pc's and was looking to sell it on USAudio Mart (a GGW-H20L; user name Brocktoon on USAudio Mart) since I have no idea where else I can (minus eBay). If you are interested let me know.

The same thing happened to me, had a new Windows install for a new pc build with the BDR-S13U-X, downloaded the latest firmware without looking here first and now the drive utility will not install, uhd playback is busted and now even normal blu-ray playback isn't consistent (freezes on occasion, sk...
