Its now a simple aos file to install now, and you can revert fairly easily. You won't lose DRM as well, which means, no loss of warranty. :)

I think my problem is down grading the Firmware from 1.7.11, I can't get the patch to work in root.
there is a lot of remnant files kicking about in the DTI games file. I can see the TUX log the GF face logo the rootfs and patch files all in place but I am unable to activate the patch in media/disk My drive started at SDC I'm now at SDG
I'll give it another go on my day off.

Strange stuff, hey? Is there a good place to download a free e-book short story? I want to see if I can figure out how this works (never done e books before). Thanks!

If you have a look on google for the top 100 e-books from the BBC you'll have plenty to go on.
I managed to get the opf screen up and running but was unable to load any books.
looks as if I'm running a screen shot or something.

Just remembered I found these books through a Google Hacks widget I loaded to my A5 imt.
