There is always PLAYBACKUP. Neat little proggie which, although not quite as well engineered as Daemon Tools, does however allow an altered CD to run.
As we all know, SD2 uses special byte sequences on the original CD to prevent most burners from copying 'em. PLAYBACKUP converts these areas into easily burnable ones, then converts 'em back "on the fly" to what SD2 expects. It patches a CloneCD image after you've read the disc. I know it isn't a perfect copy as it requires PLAYBACKUP to be installed, but it is certainly a neat solution to a right royal pain in the arse!
