Just bought an LG BE16NU50

[SevenOFF]

Hey guys,

So today I came across an LG BE16NU50 on the used market for €30, so I decided to pick it up. I’m going to try all the LibreDrive stuff for the first time, and I was wondering:

Is the BE16NU50 a good drive for LibreDrive? And is it generally considered reliable?

Thanks in advance!

It's ok but they are getting quite old.

See guide for how to flash it or email me or Marty for an automated flasher.

I wanted an external drive that was also fast at reading discs. I also wanted to be able to play PS3 games with it, and this was one of the only drives I found that supported LibreDrive and was compatible with RPCS3, while not being a slim drive.

Are there any better external drives that would fit those requirements?

yeah only lg for now can do ps3 stuff
but i would not try the direct play from the disc i know they just added support for that but your not going to save much space
already back in that gen they were doing hdd installs to improve load times so your going to had big install files for most games anyway
i recommend ripping them
