Hello,
I am using a Verbatim 43889 external slim drive and want to enable it as a full LibreDrive / 4K UHD reader.
My current drive info from MakeMKV is as follows:

Drive Information
OS device name: \Device\CdRom0
Current profile: BD-ROM
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDR-UD03
Revision: 1.14
Serial number: CIDL505536WL
Firmware date: 2020-06-15
Bus encryption flags: 1B
Highest AACS version: 81

LibreDrive Information
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: RS8511
Firmware name: PIONEER BDR-US03
Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: 1.14
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes

Could you please provide me with the correct custom flasher pack and the firmware files for a cross-flash (to UD04) to unlock UHD reading?

Thank you very much for your help!
