Anyway, I might agree with you that they're "impossible" to get except that two of them were up on eBay this past week and I couldn't snag them because I'm still in the middle of my move.
I do recognize that it's rare, but rare != impossible. And I appreciate your interest, but repeatedly telling me "you can't find them! NO, YOU CAN'T! Get a rip of the CD-ROM! DO IT!" is not helping at this point. Like I said, please tell me if you come up with other ideas, but I don't think we're going to see eye-to-eye on this one.  |
Off-topic stuff on copies:
Uhhh... I never said that it was impossible to make an ISO of a PC CD-ROM! Of course it's not impossible to make a perfect ISO of any Perfect Collection or Prex 3 CD. However, there isn't as much of a reason to do so, since the game itself is very portable, and the game will run as long as Pumpy.exe is in the same folder as the rest of the components it needs. That's all I was saying... you originally said that you needed to "install" a PIU PC game, which is incorrect. When you insert the CD-ROM of Perfect Collection, the game will run automatically. When you insert the CD-ROM of Prex 3, the game will make an autoplay screen giving you the option of running the game or setting up the USB pad.
I'm clear this time, right? Is my English so bad today?
On-topic:
Fair enough... even though the item description is incorrect (there are no such thing as PIU PC DVDs), that looks like the USB PIU pads one would need to play PC versions (and other PIU emulators). To be honest, I haven't checked for PIU on ebay in a really long time, since a long time ago... anyway, that thing was REALLY a steal, since it has both a RARE Perfect Collection CD original... as well as 2 pads (normally $90-$100)... of course, I can't tell how good the pads are just from the outer appearances.
Anyway, which particular CDs did you want? Perfect Collection and Prex 3 are probably the two that are the best in the PIU PC series.
