Pioneer BDR-209 Support

[MadMopar]

I'm new here and haven't been able to find info or update these drives (I have 2) that I pulled out of ASUS enclosures. I am using eSata enclosures from NextStar.

I am attaching info from MakeMKV.

Thanks for any help. Tried to search and got no results.

What reason do you need to "update" this drive? It already supports everything MakeMKV can get out it, and the latest Pioneer updates are killing the drives for ripping.

This actually can be flashed to do 4K it's just not available yet your going to just have to wait for a bit

Because it doesn't handle 4K. I've already tried.

Thanks. I'll be a waiitn'. Is there some way that I could put myself on a list to be notified or where would I find the update?

Hello, Has there been an update for this drive support that I missed? It will not handle UHD at the moment.
And yes, I have been searching the form for this. And also, sorry if I come off as rude. Its just me. I get teased about it at work. they call me Data and keep me on 3rd level support, far away from the customer.
If possible, I would like to open this drive. Wish I knew how to alter the BIN files.

Either way, the drive info in question is :
