there are certain tools to disable the emulation check that some games like Sims run so u dont have to uninstall. (did you have to uninstall CloneCD?) this is a real dirty trick by games companies IMHO, why should someone uninstall a legal piece of software just to play that game.

Anti-Blaxx should stop the check for emulation equipped software.

i had it installed but i have no game that runs the check instlled yet, so i cant say if it works properly.
