Again this is probably due to a bug in the SecuROM loader, not a true 1:1 copy.

Oh well, i guess i was a little wrong there.

really? i've read on the web it! Patience! in any way, blindwrite is able to produce a working copy (i think it isn't a 1:1 backup, but it WORKS!!!!)

See 3 posts above for the answer to that.

Don't be so pessimistic.
 

True, Sony could change its protection to invalidate this method, but that would not necessarily affect current games at all. Some games do not incorporate the latest version of a protection in their game updates. They continue to use the same version as was used when the game shipped. So, these "imperfect" Securom copies may still be valid even for future updates to the game.

so why is bwa not 1:1?

It modifies the image in a big-ish way and is easy to check for - ie Sony will be able to see that Twinpeak was used and "blacklist" it.

thanks for the infomation given. i am trying to work on copying the games. and i got some ideas.

i am using cloneCD+Clonyxxl to burn. my cdrw is samsung it is crap, but works.:)

i have produced a fully working copy of my game Diablo II LOD, and Warcraft III. (Secrom"new")

it seems and actually worked perfect of the combination of CLONECD +Clonyxxl, but never try Safedisk 2.XX. It did not work neither CLoncd and Blindwrite.

the ways to solve the safedisk 2 problem, u can use alcohol 120%
the latest version to crash it. i tested it with red alert 2 and yuri's revenge, perfect!

another way to make an image is that use DiscinDisk 2 to build an HDD image and virtual drive, it fulled works with safedisk 2,
tested with M&M heroes IV, and AOE II expansion. but it depends on your cd-reader, it can read RAW and must be good, it takes about 15 minutes to get rid of the 800-10000 sector (the error sctors, which Cloncd can not read.)

for the lastest safedisk 2.51, no idea.......
:confused: :confused:

i am trying to use all kinds of software to crack it

Re: the test result
 

Yes these games are Securom New - but they're not the newest version of Securom new (v 4.8 and upwards). There's a tool in the FAQ to check the version number of the Securom executable.

As for your SD 2.51 problem, if Alcohol cannot copy it with the Safedisk 2 profile for you, then you're burner probably won't be able to copy it 1:1 at all (unless you didn't enable Hide CD-R Media). Download Safedisk Cleaner from bools eye's site to make a fixed exe for the game.

SD 2.51 is not the latest version, 2.80.10 is.
