Rectifying SubChannel data?! Whats that do?
 

When SubChannel reading is enabled in BlindWrite or Alcohol 120% - I can choose to RECTIFY SUBCHANNEL data. Is it the same thing as fixing WEAK sectors in BlindWrite?

I know that doing so makes the image NOT 1:1, but for my Playstation backup - the CD backup works a LOT better when I enabled the RECTIFY option.

What does it really do?



Also, another question out of whack - is it true that newest Alcohol 120% can make working (or is it 1:1????) SecuROM 5 and below images? The previous version could not read SecuROM 4.87 correctly for even a working backup.

About your Playstation disc. Use Alcohol Playstation profile and you see the settings. Alcohol can handle Blindwrite files!

About SecuROM, I only have heard, that newest Alcohol can emulate SecuROM, never heard if they can backup it, but think you can! RMPS I think the name was, has been fixed....dose people say. But I can't confirm on that!

Rectify subchannel = correct "bad" subchannel data. Some protections used to have bad subchannel data as a part of the protection...a cd-writer then might correct the data and the protection finds that it is a bad copy---> b00m*:D ...another plate to put the cold beer on.

well,i had a problem with this copied a securom game and it gave it the label "Needs Emulation" never nserstood why and did'nt even work for the installation..copied it again today and works like hell!!!!

Ah, but if the subchannel data is NOT a part of the protection - should it be corrected?

Well, if the subchannel data is normal then it's should be ok and there's no need for it to be corrected...even if you check that setting, I think the program will ignore it since it's already ok.
