Help with BDR-212DBK (BDR-212D) please?

Post by am1sf1t » Wed Nov 26, 2025 10:56 pm

Hello all. I just acquired a Pioneer BDR-212DBK which shows up as BDR-212D in MakeMKV. Manufacture date on drive says July 2024, but firmware seems to be dated 2022-03-16 with firmware version 1.02/ID61. Can this drive be flashed to read UHD? If so may I request some help with that please? Thank you and happy holidays.

I apologize but I'm unable to reply to your PM so I can only ask this way. Should I assume EUR is preferred for donations? Paypal automatically selected that for me when I started.

Yes. But it doesn't matter. I can always convert. Thank you!
