Upgrade Process: This was a rather tough one. RPC1 firmware was available for Macs on one of the notorious RPC1 forums. The search for a working version has been tedious, and as always the flashing process is nothing for the nervous ones. At the end, it went well.
Benefit: I am still getting DVDs from different regions, and being able to play them on an RPC1 drive is just great. RegionX still works on the last version of Mavericks.
