Gran Turismo 4. However, getting them to actually play on the PS/2 is a whole other matter. You'll need to have your PS/2 modded to support playing copied games, which may or may not be legal where you live. -- Raymond Lewis Rebbeck -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Maybe they need to play Uno or something. I would hate to mod the thing but I wish there was a way to copy it and it work. I may try it just to see. I still beleive in the fair use thing. I'm not going to sell the copies. Thanks. Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Yea, they just want to make us keep replacing the ones that get scratched. It's just a bonus for the security of making copies. Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I've seen so many of those situations, just a few examples: 1) iPod battery. You CAN buy a new one and install it yourself at your own risk, OR you can invest 100$ (that's A LOT were I live) for Apple to do that for you, while they should fix their own break stuff free of charge. 2) Console games that have copy protect. You could easily backup, keep the original safe and play with the copy, but NO, a simple fall and you loose your money. 3) Those damn mechanical stamps at work, you could simply buy ink and recharge the softpad, but NO, that will void warranty and probably damage the stamp so you must buy a new, original softpad. Just to name a few... At least with Gentoo you own only respect and admiration for the ones that provide it (and a few dollars for those wonderful shirts and mousepads *lol*) -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?
