> from what I gathered the new BluRay made the drive install some new DRM stuff or something??

IIUC, the drives authenticate the player applications by keys, and the discs include a list of blacklisted keys to update in the drive rom. But I'm surprised the PS3 player would have gotten blacklisted? Did it work again after a ps3 system update?



Update didn't fix it but I figured out some workaround eventually; think it was basically the same process used for installing a new BluRay drive.

I seriously doubt it would've happened with an unmodded PS3 to be fair

This was a 2019 BluRay going into a PS3 Slim with modded firmware from 2016 that probably hadn't a BluRay video newer than about 2012 in it before.
