Your weak link is still any user who has the patch.

The only way to get complete control is to have proprietary hardware.
Package the games inside the machine, and make it self-destruct if the case is opened, too. Have it run on batteries, and use a tiny infrared port for input/output.
Lots of self-destruct triggers near that port, since it is a weak point.

Yes, proprietary hardware. Put the games on propreitary hardware. And don't sell them for goodness sake. You don't want people having access to them long enough to copy them. You can open up little shops and have these proprietary hardware consoles that people come in and pay a fee to play. Maybe call them "arcades" or something like that.

I don't know, it might work...

Ah, but remember the security guards. Can't let anyone get inside, and you don't want to have to buy new machines when they self-destruct.

I worked in one in Ottawa. At the famous Billings Bridge Mall. What a hole.

1990 to 1992.

I had alot of classic games there.
