What's the point? If you're gonna alter the OG equipment to such an extreme extent like removing the CD drive, then you're not going to play original copies on it anyways. Might as well just run an emulator.
And missing the normal way to play games. You'd have to use ROMs on this, and at that point there really isnt much of a difference between this and just emulating, you are already more than half the way there.
Oh my goodness, replacing the optical drive with a modern solution isn't close to halfway to complete software emulation. It's not even 20% of the way there.
