On a technical level..... Less.

The exploit completely guts and opens up your system to pretty much anything. More access than even denovo.

Use the included scripts (or manually do it yourself or make your own script) to re enable everything after you're done playing the game and reboot the system. I'd also leave the router unplugged while you play. This denovo bypass seriously leaves your system super unsecured. Only get your games using this exploit from very trusted sources and don't be lazy about enabling everything again and rebooting before plugging back into the internet.

Nasty stuff I don't want on my computer either. As an amateur, was really hoping the cracks would remove it, not circumvent it...

Do you have a moment for our lord and savoir Coreboot? Also RISC

Not really? No reason it couldn't just read those separate partitions too

The problem with well-coded malware is it won't execute unless it thinks it's not being watched. And based on everything else in this article, it sounds like you'd also be opening your computer up to other parties exploiting security holes in the process.

So a separate computer might work, but it would have to stay separate.
