If there's a firmware or flasher available to enable UHD support, would appreciate the pointer (presumably via PM).

I've just had to buy my first new Blu-ray drive in 13 years and found that the world has changed a lot since then, so that makes me in effect a newbie. I've bought a BDR-212V for its supposed improved burning abilities and now I need to persuade it to play DVD-RAMs, since I often help others transfer their old VHS tapes via RAMs burned on an almost equally old Panasonic DVD recorder.

Would you please send the file to make this possible (along with all the other advantages of cross-flashing)

Many thanks

the Pioneer BD-RW BDR-212D drive is currently available at Amazon.com for €98 including shipping. Mine has a firmware version dated 03-2022, with January 2024 on the outside of the case.
The delivery took 10 days.

FWIW, I bought 5 of these for a CDDA loader project and all are made in March 2024 and everything is identical besides the serial number.
