Re: Pioneer BDR-212DBK vs BDR-212V

Thanks everyone for the help! I returned all other drives and got a BDR-212DBK instead which has LibreDrive support out of the box (tested it successfully) so now I'm a happy camper, cheers!

Re: Pioneer BDR-212DBK vs BDR-212V

Thanks for the offer! From what I've seen the UHD enabling firmware is a cross model flash (firmware from a different model is being flashed on it, right?) and I'd rather not risk doing that especially since I won't be taking advantage of the UHD features. What I really wanted where these LibreDrive...

Re: Pioneer BDR-212DBK vs BDR-212V

I recently got a BDR-213M (comes with 1.05 firmware) and am thinking of returning it and getting instead either a BDR-212DBK or BDR-212V. Any preference between the 2? I don't care for UHD support but I do want the other features Libre Drive brings, so I assume I'll be able to get those features on ...

Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

Are you saying that getting a BDR-212DBK off Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081R5CS4L) or the BDR-212V (btw, any significant difference between these 2?) would likely come with patchable firmware? (no UHD support obviously but can still enable Libre Drive support?) Then I can return the BDR-213M...

Re: Pioneer firmware update February 2023

Thanks, that clears out some things. Unless you have a strong aversion to it (or got a great deal on your current drive), I'd return the drive you bought and buy a LibreDrive capable drive from a seller. Your new-drive-money might as well buy you freedom from rare edge cases as well. I guess it come...
