LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

[Coopervid]

I just saw that your drive has 2023 firmware. So you can't flash. Sorry that I missed that.

Yes, I'm on Windows 10. I can try using VMWare. the firmware I received was for the BDR-211, will that work for my 209M drive? Thanks for the help!

I don't think he was indicating a VM improves the process - just that if you are using a VM, the settings of the virtualization app/virtual machine may cause issues.

I exclusively use macOS as my primary computer OS. I have never had a failure with MakeMKV/flashing tools in Windows 10 & 11 VMs, on UTM (Free/Open Source), vmWare Fusion & Parallels. Due to licensing & what I own, I often switch between Win 10/11 VMs on all three virtualization apps, when working with/flashing optical drives that require Windows.

Thanks,
Frank

Hmm, that's odd then. I can try running the flasher again but I'm still not sure what went wrong.

Oh, damn. I thought I saw an update that allowed me to flash on 1.55 firmware but I guess not. Thanks anyway. I'll keep waiting.
