Right.

Right. The +R tables are a bit special, it took a while to get them readable. The critical patch makes them readable and patch friendly. To reduce the risk, I have taken several safety precautions. One of them is to enable this patch only on known and tested firmwares.

But if the +R strategies are not displayed, one still could apply the speedpatch while NOT touching any of the write strategies ?
You could also change some of the displayed media codes.

So only the speedpatch is being applied, then the firmware should work
It should and even does

This implies that the +R strategies are not touched as well..
Right, you can not touch non displayed strategies.
