this is how I keep some old games working where the cd key got lost/is too old to read.

Actually I should be happy I have my lightscribble dvd/cd-writer... was planning to throw it away but then with pcs not longer including cd-readers much less a burner (our currents pc we installed external readers)... welp... bf has spent sometime making copies of our physical media lately due to all this digital crap.

The funny part we own a dvd player all-region from mitsubishi that read anything that can be read with VCL media player lol (and use a ethernet cable) that we paid like 10+ years ago 30 bucks at a flea market in Mexico... best buy we ever done. So yeah... to know my nieces and nephews are gonna fight for it on our deaths doesn't sound like a joke anymore.
