1.00 was originally recommended because wider compatibility but now i recommend 1.03 because it 1 flash and done no matter what firmware you are on if you were on 1.04 or 1.03 1.00 would not work. but do not feel the need to upgrade to 1.03mk 1.00 is fine. stock ns60 vs BU40N the BU40n is slower by ...

there is also BD25
to tell what BD a disc is use https://www.blu-ray.com/ they have it listed in the specs.
not sure if original bluray drives supported dual layer discs or just single a BD50 would be dual layer

Question about drive flashing. I'm running a WH14NS40 drive. According to MakeMKV I'm already at revision 1.02, however the recommended firmware thread suggests: WH14NS40 > WH16NS60 1.02 MK I believe I used the tool correctly, but MakeMKV still shows the drive as WH14NS40 and lists Firmware type as...

Is there any reason to upgrade an NS40 from 1.02 to 1.03 or am I best to leave 1.02 on it?

It's possible but it won't have the rounded front anymore I think all you need is a phillips#2

Hi all, Where can I get the original unchanged firmware for the WH14NS40 drive? I think I need to RMA mine. Also, where can I get the 1.00 firmware that everyone keeps talking about?

If it needs RMAing, just put 1.05 on it.

unfortunately I now had to notice that the drive has an unknown firmware PH07. Did you notice MakeMKV writing an FW_xxxxxxxx.tgz file for this drive? Should have been created on first disc opening and placed into MakeMKV data directory. Please send this file to support@makemkv.com I would flash my ...

why would you need it?

it works with most USB optical drives

Because the latest firmware versions SUCK!!!! Really, the latest versions are NOT BETTER in any way. Know this is the older thread but was looking into libredrive, and enabling... Why do the newer versions suck? Specific behavior, error, or performance? Would like to be informed to avoid potential ...

Does this mean the downgrading is complete after flashing the second firmware (WH16NS40-NS50-1.03) on it or do you recommend to then downgrade further and flash either WH16NS40_1.02_NS50 or WH16NS60 1.02MK on it? I have not fully understood if the second firmware "only" restores the capability to f...
