Here is what i did on from that site:


Better (more precise) but complicated method:

Make an image of the original disc with CloneCD/Alcohol in CCD format using options below:

reading:
Read Speed: Maximum*
Skip reading errors: Yes (sometimes You have to turn it off)
Fast skip error blocks: No
Read Sub-Channel Data: Yes (it's not used by SecuROM anymore though)

You may encounter 1/2 read errors at the end of the cd - this is normal and it is a part of the protection. For explanation - look above.

Then make another image in .mds format with Alcohol using Data Position Measurement option set to High (the lower the speed of DPM the better the results). Since we need only .mds (CD characteristic) not the whole image You can abort reading after getting DPM. Don't delete .mds of course Convert .mds file to .bwa using BWA builder. Use Twinpeak v0.2 to patch CCD image with this .bwa characteristic (use twin sector step 15, 6 and 50 if You don't know what to insert there). Then burn patched CCD image with CloneCD/Alcohol:

writing:
Write Speed: Maximum*
Write Method: DAO RAW
Don't close the last session: No
Bypass EFM Error: No
Rectify Sub-Channel Data: No

Running:

Executables contain ATIP check and several blacklists - if the copy can't run then look below for the ATIP and Blacklists sections of this FAQ.

NOTES: it's better to use Alcohol + Twinpeak because Alcohol gets more precise characteristic from CD (.mds) than BWA builder. For more information about Twinpeak go to: http://kickme.to/blackcheck and http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?threadid=57740

ALWAYS try on CDRW first!!!

II. Emulation:

NOTES With new BlindWrite and Alcohol You can emulate new SecuROM, in the new BlindWrite You can choose the old method for copying the disc (BWA builder) and new method with emulation. In Alcohol all you have to do is to read and write such image with SecuROM 4.x profile, when reading it will read DPM data to the file, when burning it will burn it back to the CD and use it for emulation (R.M.P.S.) It's the easiest way to make a "working copy" but keep in mind that You won't be able to run that copy unless You install BW or standalone Autoplay for BW produced CD's and Alcohol or Daemon-Tools for Alcohol produced ones. When the emulation is disabled You'll see that the label of the Alcohol produced disc is "NEEDS EMULATION". You can find a walkthrough for using this option here: http://forum.alcohol-software.com/in...T&f=18&t=1531.
