Flashing New Archgon Drive

Post by taipei72 »

Hello,
Brand now to this game but super excited about it. I am trying to rip my Godzilla minus one to play from Plex. Have makemkv downloaded and the new Archgon Premium Aluminum External USB 3.0 UHD 4K Blu-Ray Writer Super Drive for PC and Mac to rip 4k discs...
I noticed that it said Libre Drive (Possible with patched firmware)

Here are my current info

I see I have 1.02 and I need to go to 1.03...
So I read the viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19634 and then tried to flash it using HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.03-NM00000-211810241934.bin...

Here is what I saw in the terminal after finishing
mayanksrivastava@Mayanks-iMac MacOS % ./makemkvcon f -l

Per above, I have flashed it successfully..
