See here for the hacked firmware - I think 1.07 v2 beta 5 is the one you want.

Yes and no! You can flash it back to the original firmware if you need to, so they won`t necessarily know you`ve flashed an unofficial version. On the other hand, if the flash process buggers up and renders the drive useless, you`ve got no comeback.
If you don`t want to take the risk, you might want to ditch the Riteks and try the grey Datawrite discs with Fujifilm dye. They`re £8.99 for 25 from SVP.
