Unfortunately the guide I found here (viewtopic.php?p=74718) doesn't mention my drive platform "RS8510". Any options for my drive (https://www.asus.com/de/motherboards-co ... sbw06d2xu/)? It's an Pioneer drive (BDR-UD03ASW) inside an ASUS case, which I know because I already needed to open it up for some repairs. Which firmware do I need/where can I download it? If I understood it right, the flashing of the fw should be as easy as altering and running the makemkvcon64 command from the guide mentioned above?

Here's the info from MakeMKV:

The firmware date is around December 2022 and release date is around February 2023. The sole purpose of this update is to disable LibreDrive and unofficial firmware flashing tools such as DVRtool.
This will eventually be dealt with. The ETA, whether drive flashing would be required, and the flashing process are yet unknown. We are working as fast as we can.
Please do not update the the drive firmware, unless you really need to.

Was I wrong about the UHD support? I can return it, so I'm fine grabbing another.
