Flashing Pioneer BDR-212D

[Coopervid]

Hello,

I just got a new Pioneer BDR-212D drive to replace a LG that died. Finding these Pioneer drives is getting hard. I saw that the 212D can be flashed. What is the process to flash this drive?

Thanks.

PM sent. You need a Windows PC for flashing or a good VM like VMWare.

Hi, I got your message, thanks. Unfortunately I do not have access to a Windows machine, but I’m trying to install VMWare on my Mac to see if I can get it to work.
