Yes, I had a "Happy Chip" modded Atari 810. The damn thing could copy almost anything you throw at it. In the early 80's as a teen,I used to copy protected original disks and modify the code to bypass the copy protection routines. Had a massive collection of Atari 8-bit games. And yes, I'm ashamed of my past thug life.

I got my Amiga second hand and it came with shoe boxes full of games ... "some" of which were undoubtedly copied. I remember looking at all of those disks and being blown away. Not sure I even played them all!

I cracked a couple of games (that I owned - Fort Apocalypse, and some other one) by disassembling (by hand) the boot code and NOPing out the copy protection checks with a hex editor - I think I actually used a Forth utility to do that part.
