XRTFORE External 4k Blu Ray Drive compatable?

Post by SimHns1 »

Hello

I recently purchased a drive a XRTFORE External 4k Blu Ray Drive. Which acording to MakeMKV is compatable for Libredrive however im not sure what firmwire to install and how to do so sfaely. there is no obviou BR number on the drive nor year it was Manufactured. Has anybody got this drive and managed to turn it into a Libredrive? If so any advice? Its very hard to find any information at all regarding this drive all i have to go off that its compatable is that it says it is on MakeMKV.

That's the LibreDrive Information. Also provide the Drive Information. (above the libredrive information, top right in MakeMKV)
Cheers :D

Hi! I have purchased the same drive and am afraid to brick it. Was anyone able to find the exact correct firmware to flash for this drive?
