Haha that reminds me of some other game that I had pirated back in the day that wasn't stable and I wondered if they had something like this to detect it DRM code was patched out. I liked the game a lot so I bought a copy.

Nope, it was just a poorly coded game as the legit version crashed as much as my pirated copy.
