flashing drive for Libredrive compatibility

[martinbrady]

Hello
I miss a way of doing this (hope my english good enough).
Do I just have to copy the .bin file for my drive model (Asus BC-12D2HT) obtained from the unzipped folder downloaded from the link given by Mike (mk-firmware-pack-20200415) and paste it inside the MakeMKV folder of my Program files (x86)?
then open and activate MakeMKV?
then being able to watch my brays in VLC or MPCHC?
as right now I have this:

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible (with patched firmware)
Drive platform: MT1959
Harware support: Yes
Firmware support: No
Firmware type: Original (patched version available)
Firmware version: 3.01
DVD all regions: Possible (with patched firmware)
BD raw data read: Possible (with patched firmware)
BD raw metadata read: Possible (with patched firmware)
Unrestricted read speed: Possible (with patched firmware)


and I think 3.01 is too old

Thanks a lot in advance!

Sorry Billy

but in the howto flash video you linked me, an .exe is used (at 35"), I think it's the drive self-update Mike is referring to

The images are very safe - you can't brick your drive if using "drive self-update" method.

but I only have this which is a .bin:
ASUS-BC-12D2HT-3.11-WM00300-211902271319.bin
downloaded/unzipped from the link he gave in his topic "Custom firmware pack with LibreDrive patches"
so I don't have an .exe I only have a .bin
I'm lost
think I will ask a remote flashing from one guy who knows... or if you would have something else (hey, I'm no geek)
thanks anyway
