Back after a long absence

Hi everyone.

I've been out of action for a long time due to complications in servicing a busted cooling fan in my 6600 Gfx card. After getting it back and started playing SH3 again i thought i'd check back in subsim and man, the list of new things around is staggering and intimidating.

So, i have a couple of questions to help me get back in the thick of action

1) What exactly is this new GWX supermod i'm hearing about?

2) Are saved games compatible between vanilla SH3, patched up SH3 and modded SH3? I'm on my 6th patrol (carreer started in 1940), managed to upgrade from a VII to a IXB with all available boat upgrades and i'd like to keep it if possible.

3) Last but not least...is there a way to bypass the copy protection to keep my original CDs in good shape? I try to preserve my original CDs in prime condition whenever possible, so i usually burn them onto a second disk and run with a copy cd/no cd patch. I always keep a copy of the original files in case i neeed to revert to the default installation in case a new patch comes out.

Thanks in advance everyone
