Not all MT1959-based drives support UHD-BD based media with native firmware, so using MT1959-based drives as a basis rather than MT1959 Official UHD-BD drives works more consistently for this list.

Tested on an unpatched Official UHD-BD LG WH16NS60 with a BD-66 copy of Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections for the PS5 and a LibreDrive-patched BU50N.

This should address Issue #48

BU40N is UHD official so there should be no problems reading UHD-BD on that firmware with MakeMKV.
The BW-16D1HT 3.02 firmware is UHD friendly so although it doesn't work with PowerDVD it should work fine with tools like MakeMKV.

These firmware versions should work fine even when cross-flashed to another drive. It is possible that future firmware versions increased the performance for these discs, however.

I see the readme as showing what benefits OmniDrive has over BU40N 1.00 / ASUS 3.02
And not what benefits it has over stock firmware that all compatible drives have.
