I noticed your comment on the Drive platform needing to be "MT1959<" but I'm not following if you are saying it needs to be greater or less than 1959? Mine appears to be MT 1939.

Thank you.

I'm new to this forum, and I am very confused by this thread. I don't see my drive or firmware listed, but people in another thread have helped others with the same drive. I have a Pioneer drive, and I am scared to brick it if I do something wrong. Could somebody tell me if my drive is flashable for UHD? Thank you.

I purchased a Verbatim 43888 and did all the research I could on here before starting and thought I was ready to flash until MakeMKV tells me I got a Pioneer UD04 drive, not the LG BU40N I was expecting and folks are saying come in these now. I searched again for info on flashing this but all I came up with was posts along the lines of "this drive will work", but not which firmware to use? Is what I need in the "All You Need Firmware Pack", or is there something else I'm looking for? Will the GUI work for this or am I to use the command line instructions?

Thanks!

Yes newbie here.
I have read online in these forums that my BluRay drive is able to be flashed and read UHD Bruray discs.
I have provide details of my drive below from MakeMKV

My Drive is a BD-RE ASUS BW-16D1H-U drive manufactured Dec 2021.

However when I use SDFtol Flasher v1.3.6 it says that I don't have the MT1959 platform that allows flashing ?!?

Is someone able to assist me? I am stuck in what I need to do next.
Thank you in advance.

Also is there a link to the firmware
