Great! Thank you so much for the link, this is exactly what I need. I am going to buy every game that I download to my PC because I think it's important to pay for games and support the industry.  After downloading the game how do you go about putting this into Mamewah? I'm sure it's pretty easy once the computer has the ability to open the game from the hard drive.

3)   Launch MAMEWAH, and select the

Thanks Hulkster081,  

I didn't know such a thing was available.  I always backup my kids games onto a CD-R, and let them run off of that, as they are incredibly hard on them.  They get destroyed all the time. Usually by being left lying on the floor, and then being scratched up, stepped on and cracked, etc.   I also have several kids games that I have been unable to back up, due to copy protection (Gotta love that; preventing customers from making "legal" backups).  Thus I'll keep closer tabs on those.  Maybe now I can just install them all to the HD of the kids machine.   Thanks again!

hey no problem.  that site is truly great.  they have just about every game on there.  plus if the game has a patch or something, then gamecopyworld will update its cd cracks with the updated version of the crack.  the crack not only works great with arcade stuff like in mamewah, but if you play games on Gamespy like medal of honor or battlefield 1942 and stuff, it makes joining a game a breeze.  youll be amazed at how fast your games will load now without having to access that damn cd all the time.  good luck on the pc games in mamewah!
