Attempting to patch or modify UJ-260 firmware is high-risk: modified firmware files

The version is usually the four-digit alphanumeric code at the end (e.g., 1.00). Preparation: Ensure no disc is in the drive. Close all other running applications.

Method 2: Using ImgBurn (Most detailed)
- Download and install ImgBurn (free).
- Launch ImgBurn and go to Tools > Drive > Capabilities.

B. Region Code Resets (RPC-2)
