hardware protections will make the software too expensive for a small marketlike
MSX and if the can't copy it the will crack it.
the best protection is to give the software extra value.
make a nice booklet , a nice box ,disk labels etc..
ask the player ,random, to type a word out of the booklet
(something like "word 2 , page 11")
you can still copy it , but not as quick as only 1 disk.
