I still want to know how youre going to copy that safedisc2 and the digital signature so you can just stick that puppy in and not do anything else and play with your 1:1.

Yes you can, go and buy a writer based on Philips hardware and you can copy it. All you have to do is start up CloneCD, make the image, burn it, then play it without any patches.

You think they would spend a ton of money developing it and puttin it in there if any joe could just stick in a disk and copy it. I want to know where you can get these cdrw's from.

No of coarse not, what kind of company would be that stupid. The good high quality Plextor writer cannot do it, but the Philips can. This is because Macrovision (the company which made Safedisk) specially targeted the chipset inside the Plextor and other writers, which is manufactured by one company, which is either Sanyo or Samsung (can’t remember which one). This is why Plextor’s and Sony’s can’t do it. But Philips don’t use the chipset everyone else uses, their chipset because of its crapness somehow by some fluke can do it. You can’t really buy these writer anymore, no one really bought them when they where available because the where so crap, but some retailers have them lying around in the back because the haven’t managed to sell them, that how some people have them.

The 1:1 mentioned in forums usually replies to game data or the game being ripped in its complete form.You cant fool the cd-##### without some type of altering.If you could just pop that cdr in and copy it then why does gcw patches even exist?And all these sites who have patches and cd-copy cracks?Again,you cannot duplicate a store bought retail copyprotected game and make a exact duplicate(mirror) of it.And just put it in and play.Only make as close to a 1:1 as referred to in cdr forums,and it still wont play without some type of patch or altering,ie. no-cd or cd-copy.

What the #### are you smoking, the reason the patches exist is because not all people can copy games which are protected because your writer has to be able to do RAW writing and not all can, and if they can there writer may not be supported by the program which also has to support RAW. And not all people have cd writer that why there are no cd exe’s. I HAVE duplicated store bought retail copy protected games, which I have just put them in the CD-ROM drive and played like it was the original WITHOUT ANY ####ING PATCHES.
You’re not the only one that has done research on this stuff, there are enough people in this forum that will STRONGLY disagree with YOU! I am not even sure you know what CloneCD even is because if you did then you would now that 1:1 copies are possible with the right hardware.
