That was pretty easy, MakeMKV is now showing, that LibreDrive is enabled with firmware version 1.02

Can i flash that version directly or do I need to flash another version beforehand?

Flash BH16NS60 1.02 as outlined in the guide.

My drive is the BH16NS40 which is on the UHD friendly list.
It came with the firmware version 1.05 and was manufactured in March 2023.
MakeMKV is showing the following firmware date: 2120-05-06 13:31
The drive platform is: MT1959
The service code is (If that is of any interest): NS51

If you have a friendly drive like an ASUS or LG BH16NS40 or NS55 you can flash it to official firmware BH16NS60 1.02. Firmware of official drive handles 3-layer discs better.
