Thanks I did enjoy it! One thing is, I feel like the PS1 wobble disc protection, although bypassed with swaps and mod chips, it has never been possible (besides one historic example: Datel) for someone other than Sony to make a disc bootable on the console. I feel like most PS1's weren't modded so it was quite a well done lockout. But I understand that wasn't your main point - just that it was a surprisingly effective copy protection.
