ASUS BW-12D1S-U With pioneer BD-209
Posted: Sat Mar 07, 2026 4:36 am
Hello Everyone,
First post here, Ive done quite a bit of research on this forum , however prior to doing that I bought this drive (ASUS BW-12D1S-U) and was about to return it as it seems like it won't work for UHD. However noticed it has a pioneer BD-209 Drive. SDF Flasher will not read it, as expected ( I believe Pioneer drives require a special flashing tool?)
Can anyone tell me if this drive will support UHD and can it be flashed with Libre? And if so how can I go about doing that? Here is the info.
