Question Gamecopy from farstone

Has anyone used this program yet? Its $59 and claims to backup all your copy protected discs. I havent seen any mention of it on this forum and was wondering if it is any good. The program is called GAMECOPY and it is from Farstone. Thanks

I have *no* experience with the program. But one would think that if it was sooo good, no one would even bother talking about Alcohol 120% that can back up most games.

This sound like a program for the gullible. I have bottled water that is safer and tastier than regular water at only 250% the cost!

Almost all bottled water comes from tap and is less safe than tap.

GLH is on a distinguished road
I have taken a look on theirs website.
They say GameCopy can make working backups of SecuROM New protected games and the backup works on every PC !!!
I can't believe this...
I think they try the same way like GameJack...

Here are some tellings from their website:

Does GameCopy work with copy-protected games?
Yes. GameCopy works with all four of the major copy protections used on the most popular CD/DVD-ROM games: SafeDisc, SafeDisc2, SecuROM and LaserLock. You can bypass the latest "unbreakable" protections using GameCopy's state of the art emulation and burning process!

Why do you say GameCopy is the first ever? Don't other programs let you burn games?
Existing burning programs like Alcohol, BlindWrite and CloneCD require additional plug-ins and are not easy to use. These programs cannot make copies of new games without the use of a freeware plug-in called Twinpeak. Using this plug-in is a very complex and tedious process that is not guaranteed to work. Unless you have advanced knowledge of copy-protection cracking you will not be able to make a backup with these programs....
On the flipside, GameCopy is an easy-to-use program that requires no plug-ins or illegal decrypters. One simple click and you can burn perfect copies that work on any system. Another thing to note is that if the game is using the New SecuROM protection you will need to use Daemon Tools in order for your BlindWrite or Alcohol copy to work. GameCopy already supports most games using the New SecuROM protection.

Already supports most games? I wonder if they list what games they dont or do support.....

Also, works on every PC? I'd like to see it work its magic on a crappy burner.
