Good point! :eek:

Alcohol 120% Uses the TwinPeak Technology!

The UT2k3-Version i own is for sure protected with Securom (Version 4.83.55.0017 to be exact). But nonetheless i managed to BURN A 1:1 COPY!
For all of you wondering how: I used the Blindwrite Suite Version 4.2.2.12 to do the Job including the "Physical CD characteristic dumper". And it worked!
Okay, it heavily searches on the copy when starting the game, so it´s not a perfect copy at all, but after a while it finds enough "good" physical structures on the copy to bypass the protection.
:D

If a copy works, and no NO-CD crack is needed - why want a 1:1 copy? Whats the difference then?

why can't you make a copy from a copy and what do you mean by BLACKLISTED?

Vluka is right about the not being able to make a copy from the copy.

Try and backup your copy using the process u did to create it and you'll see what is meant.

uhm,i was just wondering how would you reliably detect twin sectors with the same content? the only way i could imagine
would be by reading the data track as audio. but only very few drives can do that.

btw amplified weak sectors are no 1:1 copy either. you can detect it very easily. on lots of drives you can even tell real (c2) bad sectors from faked ( clonecd's wrong edc sectors ) bad sectors.

the reason that sd2 doesnt check this is simple: compatibility...

Aha, I think I get it. I don't like Sony though, I like copies!

so in general can you make a 1:1 copy of any of the latest games ? and if not what is the best possible senareo where you can install and run the game from the copied cd and possibly make a copy from the copy too.
