I have Project D, which can backup Populous and does some kind of copy
protection removal at the same time.  I tried this copy on my 3000 (I think
under 1.3), and it worked fine.  I think it was running hyperfast, but
it was still playable, and I hadn't played lately on my 2000, so I can't
compare really.  But I definitely didn't die instantly when I started a game.
I did have trouble clicking on the "start game" button fast enough, as it 
liked to go into demo mode very quickly.

In other words, once you make a backup with Project D, the only problems are
that the idiots used timing loops.
