I'm planning to switch to this drive because my current Pioneer one has some general compatibility issues with my new laptop, which has also a UHD screen.
Which firmware is the last UHD and Libredrive one for this drive? Is a downgrade also possible if it has been shipped with a later one?

Good evening and welcome to this Forum.

You can download the Program MakeMKV @ MakeMKV - Make MKV from Blu-ray and DVD
This tool will show you, if it`s possible with your drive.

Thanks for reply. Since I don't have a drive yet, the most important question is if I can downgrade firmware if the drive was produced in 2024 and shipped with most current firmware. Is there any lock that prevents downgrade or is it always possible (at least with some tricks)?

For LG and Asus i think, yes. But Pioneer Drives with Firmware after Dezember 2022 are locked. You cannot downgrade them anymore.

Buy your Drive, test it with MakeMKV.

Return it, if not possible

Not possible with preowned ones. But I'll give it a try. I noticed that even 2024 BU40N drives with v1.04 are advertised with UHD logo on the sticker.

Ask seller for detailed information's

I got one and it works with PlayerFab and UHD BD, but only with firmware 1.00.
I tried several other firmwares. Is there a "Original (unpatched)" firmware with LibreDrive enabled and higher than 1.00 available? This seems to be the requirement for me. I looked here, but didn't find a better one that works with PlayerFab:

LG BU40N \ BU50N Ultra HD Blu-ray + MakeMKV, super.
A gdzie pozostali dekoderzy? Umarli?
Bo narazie w przypadku napędów ultra hd, to nie ma czym zgrywać filmów.

Poza tym, gdzie kupimy ten zewnętrzny napęd Pioneer BDR-X13J-S USB 3.2?
I po pierwsze, gdzie dostaniemy napędy LG z tego tematu.
Dowiedziałem się, że właśnie LG dekoduje płyty Ultra HD.

Pioneer BDR-X13J-S USB 3.2 tylko pierwsze nie zablokowane firmware 1.00/1.01/1,02 zgrywają w MikeMKV . Firmware po 22/12/2022 (1.03/1.04) są już zablokowane .
Bardzo trudno już kupić napędy z e starymi firmware
LG też tylko starsze firmware nie zablokowane
