I'm always afraid to install patches. This last one doesn't seem to have borked as many games as the first one did, so maybe I will install it, once I find a new no-cd crack to go with it. I'm not risking SecurRom in any of its forms.

What's up with this new Super-SecurRom? Is it still possible to work around it with the no-cd things?

Yeah, I only picked up on the sledgehammer recently. It's useful for quick deletions. There are a lot of useful little features there, if you take the time to explore them. I still have a lot of game features to figure out, it seems. :) There's always something new to learn.
