In a reply to another post on this site, someone (i forget who, sorry
) said that they measured the laser lens travel area, and found that it couldn't even REACH the barcode area... then they drew over the barcode with black marker and the game still booted normally...
and also, a RAW recording DOES work with what you're talking about... with my pioneer a03 DVD-R, if I get a DVD movie and do a straight 1:1 RAW copy, the resulting DVD-R will play perfectly in every DVD player I've tried... the only problem is that DVD movies are generally bigger than 4.7GB now, and the cost of blank DVD-R media makes it not worth my while... I could rent the movie for $5, and copy it for another $5, but I might as well buy it for $14.99
Also, I found some interesting stuff out since I've been researching about some new programs that are designed to circumvent newer protections schemes.... if anything works, I'll let you know
Also, does anybody actually know what the GameCube really uses as its copy protection scheme? Share, will ya'?
