cant really see the point in playing with obsolete versions of the protections...
safediscs in v4 now, securoms in v7... and theres been quite a few changes in them, so working from v5 mighn't really benefit you, and just result in a waste of time.. as for the games not being cheap.. you're looking for old games, and even now theres newish games out there with v4 or v7 of the protections (respectively) which should be in the bargain bucket in most stores, so really the 'games too expensive' excuse doesn't work... then you also have the fact that the exe's are not on the mini images (mini images just contain the protection info typically).. so you'll have to find the exe's (and dlls) etc.. without going the warez route...
