Maybe a very specific google string?

Thanks
He he, I'll try to reply... If you want to play an arcade game even if your arcade cabinet is broken, using your custom surrogate solution (emulator on PC or whatever) you can go to an arcade games' supplier, buy some motherboards with your favourite games' ROMs mounted on and the accompanying licenses, buy a device to dump those roms on files, dump those roms on files, play them using your favourite emulator.

Incidentally, if you want to see a DVD-video movie even if your standalone player has the DVD-video reading capability broken, using the surrogate solution of DivX play, you can go to the DVD movies store, buy your favourite ones, download some PC software to decrypt and convert them from DVD-video format to DivX, burn them on a DVD, play them on your semi-broken but functional DivX player. You do it that way, don't you?
