LibreDrive for Pioneer drives
Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives
What exactly are they doing out there in The Scene? They must have a different flash tool because I doubt they are soldering.

Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives
Is LibreDrive something I need to install?
Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives
What is LibreDrive?
Essentially, it bypasses restrictions imposed by a drives FW. It can allow a drive (whos HW supports UHD) to rip UHD discs.
Post the Drive Info/LibreDrive Info reported by MakeMKV & someone can tell you whether your drive is/can be supported.

Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives
Your drive has the dreaded post 11/2022 firmware as is not able to be flashed to enable libredrive nor UHD compatibility.bohmchri@isu.edu wrote: ↑Thu Mar 06, 2025 4:47 amOk, here's my drive info. I might have put it in the wrong place before.
You won't find any new drives with the compatible pre 12/2022 firmware in any retail stores. The only way to get a libredrive enabled and UHD compatible Pioneer drive (that isn't a BDR-212V or BDR-212DBK) is from a seller on this forum.
Cheers
