1. get and install softice (+icedump). Many tuts available about softice. Now try and run a sd2 game and it will fail. So look for tutorials dealing with hiding debuggers.

2. Once your game will run with softice in the background, read up on packed programs, PE formats, and how to dump a decompressed program from memory, fix it's entry point, rebuild it's corrupted import table and fix any sneaky redirected calls.

And that's just for starters. Then you can look for any simple cd checks that may be present.

A good place to start is Krobar's site (search google)

Not as easy as it first seems, huh?
