Actually, if U make a proper image (.iso, .bin) from a original CD (all U need is a little file to be able to get past the disk protection), ppl should be able to play it, all they would need to do is get a crack. But if U'r talking about ripped games (no music, voice etc...) it gets a lot more complicatd....a LOT. U need to know a little preliminary programming, among other things...anyway, who would want a ripped game??!! No music, no voice, no cool intros...(xeptp 56K'ers).
Also, why would we do it amaturely, when there are groups already devoted to game ripping (class..) and groups that make nice cd images, already cracked and ready to play (deviance, Immersion...)?
