Or, more appropriately, just for the "Scanning for copy protection" part of this stage

For some discs, it can take a while to scan all the files on the disc for protection.

Thus, I think it should get some type of progress indicator.

I'm not super picky regarding how to properly implement it. It could be as simple as a single character changing like this: | --> / --> — --> \ -- | --> / --> — --> \ (repeat), just to show that it hasn't frozen.

If you feel like you can properly program it, you could display exactly what file is being scanned at any given time.

Honestly, I don't really care what you decide to do. I just want some reassurance that it's actually doing SOMETHING.
