What is the MID of the media? Have you tried an NEC 3540?

I use hacked F/W to defeat Riplock on my NEC 3540. It really makes a
difference to go from 4x to 16x.

Some people also use it to defeat Region Codes, but that is not an
issue for me.

I am not bothered by hacked strategy tables since I force the max burn
speed in Decrypter.

The new NEC 3550 supposedly does not implement Riplock, so I won't be
using hack F/W with it.
