Are there dumps of Pioneer firmwares?

Post by dnsrs »

Just curious if there is a way to, or if anyone has, firmware dumps for these drives, specifically the old (before 12/22) firmware for the BDR-212V. Any information on this would be appreciated. Thanks!

Alright, as long as someone out there has it I'm happy. Thanks again for letting me know!

Just think! A company that sells UHD drives at a premium doesn't like to have (crippled) cheaper drives to be upgraded.

I've been wondering about this as well.

I've been unable to find/accertain any UHD movie "out-of-box" capable drives from Pioneer. Are there any such optical drives for PC from Pioneer, or anyone else?

Your only real option is to buy from one of the sellers who advertize on this forum.

Or buy one that can be reflashed.... it's just Coopervid's comment seemed to insinuate that there might be other options.
