Just got a verbatim slim drive that is a pioneer drive inside. Do I still need a special pioneer flasher to update this?
I was looking at the flasher guide, but doesn't seem to cover these drives. Maybe I'm missing something.

If you download the latest SDF.bin, then you should be able to enable LibreDrive however, it still cannot read UHD discs or be cross-flashed at this point in time.
Cheers :D

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to flash my Pioneer BD-RW BDR-S09 drive (firmware 1.34) to enable LibreDrive.

Here's my drive info:

MSG:1005,0,1,"MakeMKV v1.18.2 win(x64-release) started","%1 started","MakeMKV v1.18.2 win(x64-release)"
DRV:0,2,999,28,"BD-RE PIONEER BD-RW BDR-S09 1.34 QGDL018648CN","INDEPENDENCE_DAY_RESURGENCE","D:"
DRV:1,256,999,0,"","",""
DRV:2,256,999,0,"","",""
DRV:3,256,999,0,"","",""

DRV:13,256,999,0,"","",""
DRV:14,256,999,0,"","",""
DRV:15,256,999,0,"","",""

Can someone please PM me the SDFTool flasher and the firmware files for this drive (e.g., 1.03-MK.bin and a downgrade like GENE.bin for the RS8600 platform)? I've read the Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide and appreciate any help!

Thanks,

John
