A bit confused by this statement. Does this mean if i buy one of the ones that say "Currently work" it still has to be an old one with prior fw? or do the new ones work regardless

Pioneer UHD drives are now supported more info about that will be coming from the developer and once the info is out i will update stuff here
this is a work in progress PSA now most Pioneers come with new fw that prevents them from be crossflashed or downgraded do not buy one for UHD at this time[/u][/b]
Pioneer Drives need Firmware from before December 2022 firmware after this does not work do not update if you have a working one more on this in the coming weeks if they can be flashed. if your pioneer UHD drive does not work post your makemkv drive info here: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=27378
