somebody needs to figure out how to extract it and patch out the check, and it’s playable again.

Maybe. There are sometimes system calls and graphics optimizations that wont work, it isnt always just a patch out the check to fix situation.

I am not sure if you would even be able to get the system to install the software until the patch was implemented, which means you would have to extract the full disc in the first place and then be able to write a new one, and hope the machine would read it.
