ISO Gamer Protection
Lots of comments like:
My Quake crashes with a bluescreen.

Quake2::Sys_Error()Quake2::Version: EE Quake 2 PSP Port Beta 10xBAD1 Unabled to start Quake 2
And the solution is also known. Remove all your isos, loaders and iso loader directories from your psp and the game will start.

It is a very simple protection and everybody with some coding knowlegde can remove it. I don't put any work in this, but I still think it was a funny idea.
**** You ISO Gamers!

A lot of people were angry about this protection. Especially psp-hacks.com where strong against this. How can I play my legally backup now?
I don't think there is a really need for backup a psp game.
The typical argument is the umd will be damaged. This is very stupid. The umd is safe boxed in the cover and will not take damage even if it is often changed.
I'm sorry if this really disturb some gamer. But I'm sure the major part of iso gamers are 13 years old kiddies with one or two umds and one hundred isos. That was my intention. And as you can see. The protection was hacked fast...

I don't know if I spend further time with improve the protection, but I still think it was a good idea
