- I purchased Arkanoid over Christmas break. It's a fun game, but it
- doesn't seem to like my REU: I can run the program successfully when
- I have my REU disconnected. However, when the REU is connected, the title
- screen comes up and then the program hangs. (All of the sudden, garbage
- comes on the screen and everything stops.)
-
- Is this some sort of copy protection scheme in action? Does anyone
- have any suggestions for overcoming this problem? I'd prefer not to
- have my ten year-old brother tear out the REU every time he wants to
- play.
