I am new to the forum and was looking to flash my drive for MakeMKV

It is an external Asus drive model BW-16D1X-U

Details from MakeMKV:
Drive Information
OS device name: D:
Manufacturer: ASUS
Product: BW-16D1X-U
Revision: E113
Serial number: XXXXXXXXXXXX
Firmware date: 2020-07-21
Bus encryption flags: 1B

LibreDrive Information
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: RS8F00
Firmware name: PIONEER BDR-212T
Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: E113/ID76
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes
Unrestricted read speed: Yes

SDFtool does not work as my drive platform is not MT1959. Based on research on this forum it appears I may have an Asus chassis with a Pioneer drive.

Any help to flash this drive to rip UHD would be greatly appreciated as I am a total noob.

Sayaka: Thank you so very much for your quick response back! And I'm very happy to report that everything went great with the firmware downgrade on my LG BP60NB10. There were no issues at all with the downgrade and I'm now able to copy a 4K DVD to my PC that I was unable to copy before due to the original firmware that was on the drive.

Take care!
