Pioneer RS8F00

[xflipx]

Hello all,

New guy here trying to flash my drive, I tried unsuccessfully after following the guide for my slim LG, so I invested in an ASUS one, but cannot flash it due to it not being MT1959 Platform. I know one of the active users has been PMing people on how to get it done.

Any tips or guides I can follow for it?:

I purchased the same drive and would also like the solution. Thank you!

This one contains a Pioneer drive, not an LG-based drive. Billycar11 or CooperVid should be able to help you.

But there is a specific thread for the ASUS BW-16D1X-U ----> viewtopic.php?f=16&t=32872&p=183020#p183020

You need to post your own Makemkv info.

Hello,

I'm new to this and really haven't got much clue on what I'm doing apart from what Deepseek is telling me, and its telling me to ask the below , can someone please help?

I am trying to enable LibreDrive. I have SDFtool Flasher 1.3.6, but I cannot find a working download link for the correct firmware file HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_RS8F00_1.02-NM00100-212011021039.bin. All external links I find are dead. Can someone please share a direct link?"

thank you @coopervid!! legend!!!
The drive now shows LibreDrive enabled as per below, however dvds are ok, but tried 2 Blu-rays and it starts off and after a little while seems to get stuck the power light blinks and after a little while just says: "0 titles saved, 27 failed""

Do you know why?

sample the Makemkv logs:

Most likely the drive is running out of juice and disappears for a moment. Could be caused by a dirty disc or simply not getting enough constant power.

1. Try cleaning the disc.
2. Use USB-C port if possible. If not, use USB 3 ports direct from motherboard (not case ports) or use an AC self-powered USB hub of at least 30W.
