Question: Why didn't you just slap a No-CD patch on The Sims to see if it could run?
The game is almost 25 years old (ow, my bones) I don't think anyone would bat an eye if you circumvented the DRM
- felsqualle 2y agoA No-CD patch would likely work, but I want to keep things as close to the original as possible. I want to be able to play a game or run an application without any third-party software required, just using a perfect backup/image.
- IntelMiner 2y agoWould software that more accurately emulates a CD drive be preferable? Virtual CloneDrive will run The Sims (and other early SafeDisc titles) without issue. By contrast I don't believe that any emulator (QEMU/Virtualbox/DOSbox/etc) handle the weird I/O calls that DRM makes
