Thanks for your advice
Sadly that's not work, I don't have option "do not show this again"
Maybe with an old version...
I did not buy an official license, before that I wanted to know if it worked well. So i can't use UHD Drive Tool...
EDIT : I reflash for the third time "DE_LG_WH16NS60_1.00.bin" and... It's works this time ! DVDFab and MakeMKV ! I don't know why...
Many thanks for your help

I guess I can experiment with it tomorrow as I've got a lifetime license. I don't ever really use it but I bought it as insurance just in case. I can try flashing different firmware and see what happens.

Cool!! The results might help some folk that like to use both.
Agreed. I'll play around tonight and see what I can find. But if they did take that option out that would suck. We'll find out. My poor little bw-16d1ht is seriously abused at this point. Lol

Just got around to testing. Indeed, there is no way to override the firmware check. That's annoying. It'll make life harder for some people.

I just re-installed the trial (DVDFab11_x64(11.0.8.7)) that I had downloaded in May. The popup message I am talking about is below.

Ignore the drive model in the pic. I had to connect a drive that has incompatible firmware. Do you not get this popup message anymore? With a drive on NS55 1.04-MK, I just ticked the box and clicked "no".
If this message no longer appears, that sux!!

It doesn't. It links to their downgrade ripo...er software. Just an ok button. No yes/no. No don't show checkbox.

Bugger. I wonder if you can roll back to DVDFab11_x64(11.0.8.7), do the things I did, then update to newer version again?

I just downloaded and installed the latest version (11.0.9.6) and got the same popup message. Here you go.

After ticking and clicking "No", I put a disc in and get the below messages. (I know this drive is unsupported, which is the same message I got with ASUS 3.10-MK but for NS55 1.04-MK, I didn't get the last message and I was able to start ripping the UHD disc.)

I just flashed my drive to NS55 1.04-MK and I got no warning at all. It simply worked fine. But when I put NS60 1.02-MK on the drive, I got the error I talked about with no way to continue. So I would say it works for SOME firmware (probably those that make a drive truly friendly) but not others. That's not confusing at ALL LOL

Probably but we really won't no for sure until someone tests a drive with "x.xx" firmware.

Well I ain't going through the entire MK firmware zip!

My poor little BW-16D1HT is already highly abused by me. I put it back to NS60 1.00. And that's where it's staying. My new NS60 supposedly is coming tomorrow (I have my doubts...UPS is having issues) and I plan on downgrading that to 1.00 as well for the Vantec case. It better not come with that encrypted crap.

New NS60 drive came today. I literally just put it in the vantec case about 10 minutes ago. MFG'd in May 2020 and it came with 1.02 on it. SuuuuWEEET! Ran the following awesome commands:
makemkvcon64 f -d \Device\CdRom0 rawflash -i .\HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin
And then....
makemkvcon64 f -d \Device\CdRom0 rawflash de -i .\flash_HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_WH16NS60_1.00.bin
And now.....
HL-DT-ST BD-REWH16NS60 1.00
BAM!
