Good morning all, I was wondering if my old Pioneer BDR-XD05 is capable of decrypting UHD discs? I am unable to send PM's for whatever reason, probably because my account was just created. Please let me know if this can be done. Thank you!

When I tried to flash it, I receive an error stating "Drive and firmware hardware don't match." The sticker on the bottom of the drive lists it as BDR-XD05W however, MakeMKV recognizes it as a BDR-XD05.

I am unable to sign up for Paypal. I also am unable to message you in private. Are you able to send an invoice to the email address that I originally sent you an email from?
