Hi guys,
I bought a Pioneer BDR-XS07TUHD risking that it would be revision 1.03 which it is. Is it possible to get into a libredrive mode or not?

Code: Select all

Product: BD-RW BDR
Revision: 1.03
Firmware date 2023-01-06
Drive platform: Pioneer RS8E21
Firmware version: ID05

No. You will have to wait until newer drives are supported. Could be quite a while...
