I gave up on EA games because they put so much into selling the product but very little care in their support for their products, like need 4-speed world for example.
I remember racing construction set for Commodore at the time I didn't think technology could get any better. As far as using an emulator over the net to play games? I noticed in the past emulators come with a lot of bugs that can harm your pc so I don't like messing with them.
