Twenty years ago, I bought two Wii consoles for my family when they first came out. Being concerned about the rough treatment my family gave the discs, I eventually modded both of the Wiis so they could read normal discs, and I purchased a HP 410125-200 drive, which I used to back up the more costly titles.

I'm assuming this firmware also functions as a LibreDrive firmware for use with MakeMKV?

My understanding is that LibreDrive leverages a bug in the drives firmware such that decryption keys for Blu-ray was accessible. This OmniDrive seems to have little to do with decryption.

LibreDrive only works on certain firmwares that have the bug or are patched to expose it.

OmniDrive is one of the latter.

The question is how much longer will you even be able to find Blu Ray drives at all. The UHD drive market is already dangerously small and it was a PITA to get a replacement when my previous one died to a kamikaze disc.

I recently noticed mine is struggling to recognize disks sometimes and I was shocked when I started looking in to a replacement.

Would be very curious to hear more about these kamikaze discs.

Just a regular possibly damaged UHD disk that violently disintegrated from centrifugal forces after too many read attempts, taking the drive with it to the grave. It's possible that the disc is innocent here and the drive was simply spinning it beyond design speeds but either way both are dead now.

Who uses a green X for not supported.

edit: (on the github readme)

red-green colorblind folks?

Yes, we absolutely don’t support this one, we should make it super duper clear how certain we are that we know we don’t support this one.

Maybe a X shape?

Ripping those tiny GameCube discs is interesting!

It is unclear to me why OP linked to an article that linked to a video that talks about the repo (I guess? Didn't click) instead of just.. you know.. LINKING THE REPO.

Thank you.
