Re: PIONEER BDR-212T Flashable?
@Coopervid it works (with Win11 in virtualbox under Fedora 44) and having a BDR-S12U instead of a BRD-212T also open a lot of ripping and burning features. Thanks a lot. I’ll send you some money ASAP.

Re: PIONEER BDR-212T Flashable?
Hi,
I’m looking to enable UHD ripping on my ASUS BW-16D1X-U.
My drive information from MakeMKV:
* Drive: ASUS BW-16D1X-U
* Revision: E113
* Internal mechanism: Pioneer BDR-212T
* Platform: RS8F00
* Firmware: E113/ID76
* Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
* LibreDrive status: Enabled
I’m using macOS and would like to know whether you can provide the appropriate firmware and flashing instructions.
Could you also confirm whether the procedure can be performed on macOS or requires Windows, and whether the original firmware can be backed up and restored?
Thanks!
