Firmware Patch Request: Pioneer BDR-209D (RS8601 Platform)

Post by CoFrankensteinH »

Hello,
I am looking to get the correct custom firmware patch to enable UHD/4K ripping capabilities for my internal Pioneer drive. My drive is on the newer RS8601 platform, so I want to ensure I use the correct custom-compiled binary file to avoid bricking it.
Here are the complete details from MakeMKV:
Drive Information:
• Manufacturer: PIONEER
• Product: BD-RW BDR-209D
• Revision: 1.51
• Firmware date: 2018-05-08
• Bus encryption flags: 13
• Highest AACS version: 78
LibreDrive Information:
• Status: Enabled
• Drive platform: RS8601
• Firmware name: PIONEER BDR-209
• Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
• Firmware version: 1.51/ID61
Could you please provide the appropriate custom patch file and any specific flashing instructions required for the RS8601 architecture?
Thank you for your time and help!
