Neat copy protection scheme. Reminds me of the GC/Wii disk protection (also based on holes punched by a laser), but on read-write floppies. The obfuscation is similar to what we do for antitampering on The Homebrew Channel (but we go a bit further :P).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qaq9vlfoGnA …

To stop scammers from selling HBC with how-to-pirate-games guides. It's reverse-DRM: makes sure you *didn't* pay for it. Also, tangentially, we *really* don't want HBC used (at runtime) together with piracy patches due to their shoddy code causing crashes.
