Ever since I put a 68010 in my amiga I cannot run some of the Psygnosis games
(i.e. Barbarian, and Terrapods). and because of the STOOPID copy protections,
you have to boot from the game disk, it takes over the Amiga, and you can't use
something like Decigel to fix the 68010 problem.

Sux big time. Drop the copy protection. Use the 'lookup-the-word-in-the-manual'
method if you have to protect the program. A lot of us would like to install
games on hard disk and also multi-task ( so don't take over the machine!!!!)
