Thanks to Trevor's support on converting my BUFFALO BRXL-PUV6U3-BK/N or BRXL-PUS6U3-BK/N(Bundle playback software version) to be LibreDrive capable for ripping 4K UHD disc! :D

The BUFFALO BRXL-PUV6U3-BK/N[Use LG BU40N drive as core] was purchased from Amazon JP in last month and it is still widely avaliable for purchase:

It save my life from purchasing the crazy expensive EOS Pioneer 4K UHD drive while helping me to converting my 4K UHD movies to my NAS for long term retention and easier for watching.

Here are the screenshot for the converting the BUFFALO BRXL-PUV6U3-BK/N:

Now can detect the 4K UHD movie in MakeMKV

And can rip the disc

Starring: ASUS SBW-06D5H-U E102.

Just found about about this app and it's so cool the community was able to come around and do this! Especially on previously unflashable drives. I also do have the same exact model and firmware (SBW-06D5H-U), but sadly trev.bot does not detect any supported firmware yet. Hopefully soon! I can't wait to flash the drive.
