Cannot identify cd protection?
 

I am currently reading up on this, and am still new. I have tried to identify the cd protection on a game that I own, but I have tried both clonyxxl, and protectionID v5.0b, and both say they cannot identify protection. But Alcohol120 cannot make an image of disk 3, and I have tried a few of the options available, Securom, securomNew, and some others, all to know avail.
I am still reading, and will continue, but any helpful pointers in the right direction for some info would be greatly appreciated
thanks

I'm sure if you tell us the name of the game someone will tell you the protection on it.

sounds like safedisc man.if it's stopped at start it's safedisc...but both clonyxxl and protectionid can find this...

game name
 

it's the first splinter cell
kinda odd that neither program would identify the protection

thanks for the help

ps, tried both safedisc and safedisc 2 in alcohol, nothing but errors

Splinter Cell is protected with Safedisc2.
Make a backup of this with Alcohol 120% and it's Safedisc2 profile.
Errors up to sector ~12000 are normal for this protection.

thanks
 

I didn't know errors are normal routine for this. thanks, will give it a go

well a long time ago i tried to buckup SC wth alcohol.it didn't work.cyclic error it said

I am pretty sure it's sd2.8

Use either a120 or CloneCD/hide cdr media. The fixed exe also works.
