Which firmware is best for the WH16NS40?

#1 Post by revliedparker » Wed Jan 13, 2021 1:42 am

I bought a WH16NS40 optical drive today and I want to be able to burn my UHD movies. Right now its 1.05 and is able to be flashed (NS50, MT1959). My question is that which firmware do I use. I've read that I should use WH16NS60-1.02-MK. But I've read other things that say to flash to a different firmware first, and then use the WH16NS60 1.02 firmware. I just want a clear answer at this point cause I don't wanna try anything until I get an answer.

At the time of this reply, there are currently one thousand three hundred and five hits for "WH16NS40" on this forum, at least a hundred discuss the "best firmware". And a couple of guides that explain the sequence for flashing, based on your original firmware.

flash directly to WH16NS60 1.02 as the guide says with enc option or box checked the developer pinned it for a reason.
