Sony PlayStation Anti-Piracy: Genius and Devious Need For Speed Porsche 2000

This time on the Game Room. I discuss what I think is a Genius and Devious Anti-Piracy system in Need For Speed: Porsche 2000 on the Sony PlayStation. See what it is and what I have to say about it on this video!

Ahh yes, PSone DRM: what a nightmare in the 1990s. This reminds me of how V-Rally 2 and This Is Football would get stuck in the loading screen.

Finally someone who talks about this! Thanks Dave!

[@Blueflag04]

I didnt even know this can happen here

[@GadgetUK164]

Very interesting! It was around that time they started to do similar things in PC gaming regards copy protection too!

[@heimanlee5955]

Perhaps something's wrong in NTSC too for share if okay. I played the game in Duckstation, and it freezes during Evolution and Factory Driver whenever I want to pause the race.

My right ear enjoyed this the most

[@YegoYTP]

If it was me designing it id make the pirated copy have bicycles that dont move and all Ai are Vauxhall Nova chav cars

Would an Action Replay code to make the Lap time 0:00:00 defeat said reset? Im quite curious.

[@DaveDoc1984]

I'll try and make a code using my xplorer fx and see if it works :)

[@C.I...]

You don't happen to know a way around this, do you? I'm just trying to play my original copy in duckstation :(

[@RealShadowfiend180x]

How did you trigger the bad copy was it a direct copy of the pc’s hdd it was it from img burn I wanna try this with spyro year of the dragon

[@DaveDoc1984]

Used IMGBurn to rip my Original Game Disc (IMGBurn won't read some sectors of the Disc that the copy protection measure looks for). Burn the ISO that IMGBurn made using IMGBurn.

Dave's Game Room nice one mate thank you ❤️all the best I love the videos mate

[@HuseynMemmedov]

I have a modchip and i can play USA version without any problem

[@DaveDoc1984]

This isn't the USA version. This is the European version

[@HuseynMemmedov]

I know by the name. I never had European version.

[@abzhuofficial]

@@HuseynMemmedov The PAL-E versions had more games with Libcrypt DRM than NTSC-U versions, to the point whereby NTSC-U versions are desirable for not only the refresh rate but also, evading that DRM issue.
