The MKV for linux points to 1.18.2 version viewtopic.php?f=3&t=224
But this guide viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19634 tells that we must use 1.17.7 version
How we can install 1.17.7 if the only working version is 1.18.2 ?

I recently purchased an ASUS_BW-16D1H-U_E116_DIDL121264WL but when I try to flash it it just says it does not have the correct drive platform.
Did I purchase the wrong device or can someone help me with this please?
Any info or help is much appreciated, thanks a lot in advance!

Pretty sure they can. It should be a standard SATA drive inside.Mr_Orange wrote: Mon Dec 22, 2025 12:45 amCan these things be shucked and installed directly into a PC?MartyMcNuts wrote: Mon Dec 22, 2025 12:42 amIt's a Pioneer drive.

Most likely will need to be flashed with software/firmware available on these forums.Mr_Orange wrote: Mon Dec 22, 2025 12:51 amThanks Marty.

Nope, too old. Manufactured in 2013 and would have the old MT1939 drive platform.LGSONE wrote: Mon Dec 22, 2025 4:21 am G: HL-DT-ST_BD-RE__WH14NS40_1.01_211304042325_K92DAVC0827
Stumbled upon this as I just fired up this machine to back up some BR's. I purchased makeMKV in 2021; it worked well, but I'm now experiencing issues. Looks like the drive in use cannot be flashed. Is this correct? I have been reviewing this, and before I go to eBay, I wanted to check.
If it is unable and you were buying a drive today, what would be the "best"/one to get?
Thank you,
LGSONE
A compatible drive that is available (all models are becoming more & more scarce).
the info is the following:MartyMcNuts wrote: Mon Dec 22, 2025 12:42 amIt's a Pioneer drive. Post the MakeMKV drive info and libredrive info sections.trolnator wrote: Sun Dec 21, 2025 8:41 pm Hi All,

The recommended firmware for your drive is WH16NS60 1.02-MK. Just the flash it and you are all good.cpatullo wrote: Mon Dec 22, 2025 3:35 pm New to the forum.
I have been ripping my Bluray and DVD collection for about a year now and am getting close to done. Running into some discs/series that aren't working.
So, figured it was time to flash the drive and see how it all does after that.
I have the following:

Current profile: DVD-ROM
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST

Firmware version: 1.05

Which firmware should I flash to this drive, and after the initial flash due to encryption, should I flash to a newer firmware?
Thanks in advance!
