Probably a few more if Mike says All drives will be supported.spl147 wrote: Sat Feb 02, 2019 4:57 pmPioneer will never be supported, how many times must it be saidtuuatwaffle wrote:Is that including Pioneer?

I have to take it back. Pioneer might be supported after all. I cannot provide any hints or estimates, but it is sufficient to say that "never" part should be certainly stroked out.spl147 wrote: Sat Feb 02, 2019 4:57 pm Pioneer will never be supported, how many times must it be said

Hopefully. Cracking work sir.mike admin wrote: Sat Feb 02, 2019 5:18 pmI have to take it back. Pioneer might be supported after all.

You are correct, most of them do function like that. Except for this one, it's one single piece. Certainly more cost effective to wire the connector directly to the ICs that are running the device. I was going to try that SATA > USB cable idea something tells me it's not going to be that easy because if it were someone would have already done itziggy101 wrote: Sat Feb 02, 2019 4:18 amThe few USB drives I've taken apart had an internal SATA interface, but a small pc board was connected to it to translate to a USB connection. So it looks like you can easily unplug that board and gain access to a regular SATA connector once you get the thing out of the case (I haven't actually tried it, but it sure looks like it would work).jonghotti wrote: Fri Feb 01, 2019 2:40 pm We got any electrical engineers around here? I need some help figuring out where and which pins to solder a SATA data connector onto on an LG BP60NB10 which is USB out only in order to dump it's firmware. Happy to send you one if schematics are not to be found online.
Why can't you enjoy it now?Xavier24 wrote: Sat Feb 02, 2019 5:47 pm Thanks again Mike for this good news.
I will be able to enjoy with my LG BU40N usb player full of MakeMkv.
I am impatient ...
Yes please ignore those specs those are for using the drive as a playback device in a computer which is something I've still never seen anyone do. Pretty much any drive in any computer can be used with makemkv. Requirements are basically that your computer has a pulse and a large hard driveunknownLake wrote: Sat Feb 02, 2019 7:14 pm I apologize for my ignorance but will computers with CPUs earlier than Kabylake be able to rip UHD discs with MakeMKV?
- Thanks
The LG site says the WH16NS60 system requirements are Intel 7th Gen. Kabylake Core i3 or higher.

If you were playing them "properly", then yes. I'm ripping discs on my Lenovo ThinkPad X220 (SandyBridge Core i5-2540M CPU) right now, so I can verify that you don't need a Kaby Lake CPU for this.unknownLake wrote: Sat Feb 02, 2019 7:14 pm I apologize for my ignorance but will computers with CPUs earlier than Kabylake be able to rip UHD discs with MakeMKV?

what i would try first is to get the dump makemkv apparently makes idk what you will do with it but maybe since its usb only lg never thought they would need that same flash protection they have in the 1.01 1.03 and 3.03 fwsjonghotti wrote: Fri Feb 01, 2019 2:40 pm Had a stack of 8 slims to go through today, 1 BU50N firmware BW50, 5 BU40Ns firmware 1.02, 1 BU40N firmware 1.01, 1 BU40N firmware 1.00. So both 1.00 and 1.01 are friendly and released in 2016 and 2017 respectively with 1.02 the cock-blocker appearing in 2018.

so just delete all your dump_SD_xxxxx.tgzs open makemkv with only that drive connected and i guess just wait idk what triggers makemkv to make the dump maybe mike will tell us or yell at us.mike admin wrote: Wed Jan 30, 2019 6:55 am I want your firmware!!!!
Please navigate to MakeMKV data directory (location can be looked up in preferences). Inside you will find one or more files named dump_SD_xxxxx.tgz . Please send them all to support@makemkv.com . Thanks!
Now that right there is a "crackin'" idea. I will actually get right on that.
