Not sure if i'm doing something wrong here, updated SDF, power cycled etc.

This drive is actually generating a dump file though but its only 982KB, i've sent it through to support@makemkv.com once in Dec 2024 and at the start of this month.

FYI you can cross flash that if you want to

My BDR-X13E-X is not supported yet. I know it will take some time before every drive becomes LibreDrive enabled, but from what I understood from Mike’s post, the new SDF update should allow creating a full firmware dump.
However, my dump file is only 3 KB instead of the expected full firmware dump of around 2 MB. Is this normal, or did something go wrong?

Hello, newbie here...

Just ordered a Pioneer BDR-209BDK. Is this a good LibreDrive? Does it need to be flashed? And can this read UHD?
Also, I own an older LG Blu-Ray/HD DVD can this be any good?

The Pioneer should be able to be cross-flashed. The LG is too old and the wrong drive platform.

I already sent a full dump to support 2 days ago Btw I had to delete makemkv folder so when I run makemkv again it downloaded sdf bin and created proper full size dump.

Thanks it works here with my Pioneer BDR-209M 1.55fw . BTW, it's still not possible to downgrade from firmware 1.55 and crossflash to a BDR-211..?
