ASUS BW-16D1H-U flashable?

Post by dedero »

Hey there!,

I have this drive since a couple of years and I'm starting to collect 4k blurays and I would like to rip them to be able to see them in Plex as well.

I downloaded MakeMKV and read the tutorial but I found that the drive platform is not MT1959 as suggested in the tutorial, I would like to confirm whether there's a workaround to flash this drive having the platform RS8601.
