@ Darth: see I always just ran the noCD crack, I had the actual disc so I had no real fear of reprisal for not wanting to put a disc in the drive and have long load times lol.
however that's not the case with consoles :\
this is one area I feel that older consoles did really well.
no installing neccessary, just insert the media and play.
esp cartridges because they just worked, maybe you had to clean the contacts once in a while but otherwise... yeah.
my atari 2600 carts still work long after they ceased production, I can't say the same about the more complicated drives on old PS1's and dreamcasts.
@ darth, what about this, how do you feel about physical copies, but digital backups played on real hardware to get around the issues?
