No that would be an incredible undertaking for anyone attempting to make that. Probably many many years of work.

Most originals won't load at all from these devices.

What's needed here is a 1541 Ultimate 1 or 2 or other low level 1541 drive emulator.

I want to load games fast and get to play them fast which means

a) no copy protection
b) no intros

Thus my question about cracks without intros.

IMHO, most copy protected games load lightning fast.

In fact, in many cases the load accelerator integrated in the game IS the copy protection.

You could always use tools like Super Snapshot to capture games once past the intros if they don't need to load other material once started. That would turn them into single filers. I did that with the old game In the Chips and now it loads lightning fast and has no intro at all.

I did remove the intro from Uridium in this manner too.

IMHO, the 1541 Ultimate 1/2 remains the best tool for that too because a Super Snapshot V5.22 is included and you can DMA load single filers far faster than SD2IEC or Ide64 can.
