Good call Mr. Nuts I do have esata ports on a couple of these machines I like these older HP SFF desktops. Supposed to be connected to SATA 0 however so why not just a regular SATA > mini usb? I still have a feeling I'm going to end up soldering something but we'll get it done!!MartyMcNuts wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 11:03 pmDo you have an esata adapter on your computer? You could possibly get a usb to esata cable so that your usb drive would connect to the esata port, then the esata port is connected to your sata motherboard connection.jonghotti wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 2:40 pmHad a stack of 8 slims to go through today, 1 BU50N firmware BW50, 5 BU40Ns firmware 1.02, 1 BU40N firmware 1.01, 1 BU40N firmware 1.00. So both 1.00 and 1.01 are friendly and released in 2016 and 2017 respectively with 1.02 the cock-blocker appearing in 2018.
We got any electrical engineers around here? I need some help figuring out where and which pins to solder a SATA data connector onto on an LG BP60NB10 which is USB out only in order to dump it's firmware. Happy to send you one if schematics are not to be found online.

Yeah, well I thought it might be worth a try. Really what's the worst that can happen? It doesn't work...jonghotti wrote: ↑Sat Feb 02, 2019 6:31 amGood call Mr. Nuts I do have esata ports on a couple of these machines I like these older HP SFF desktops.

Re: Heads up - Support for LG UHD drives
Let me repeat - all drives with newer firmwares (including slim USB-only) WILL be supported soon.
Re: Heads up - Support for LG UHD drives
Awesome! Truly amazing that you're able to support all drives.

Re: Heads up - Support for LG UHD drives
Thanks again Mike for this good news.
I will be able to enjoy with my LG BU40N usb player full of MakeMkv.
I am impatient ...![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Re: Heads up - Support for LG UHD drives
I apologize for my ignorance but will computers with CPUs earlier than Kabylake be able to rip UHD discs with MakeMKV?
- Thanks
The LG site says the WH16NS60 system requirements are Intel 7th Gen. Kabylake Core i3 or higher.

Re: Heads up - Support for LG UHD drives
You are correct, most of them do function like that. Except for this one, it's one single piece. Certainly more cost effective to wire the connector directly to the ICs that are running the device. I was going to try that SATA > USB cable idea something tells me it's not going to be that easy because if it were someone would have already done itziggy101 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 02, 2019 4:18 amThe few USB drives I've taken apart had an internal SATA interface, but a small pc board was connected to it to translate to a USB connection. So it looks like you can easily unplug that board and gain access to a regular SATA connector once you get the thing out of the case (I haven't actually tried it, but it sure looks like it would work).jonghotti wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 2:40 pmWe got any electrical engineers around here?

Re: Heads up - Support for LG UHD drives
Yes please ignore those specs those are for using the drive as a playback device in a computer which is something I've still never seen anyone do. Pretty much any drive in any computer can be used with makemkv. Requirements are basically that your computer has a pulse and a large hard driveunknownLake wrote: ↑Sat Feb 02, 2019 7:14 pmI apologize for my ignorance but will computers with CPUs earlier than Kabylake be able to rip UHD discs with MakeMKV?
