WC Snooker 03 and FADE question

[t.foster73]

On world championship snooker 2003, the game start screen says to ensure that the CD is in the drive. This is past the Safedisc protection and happens whether installed from original or copy. I want to know whether the game needs the CD for commentary, or whether there are further Safedisc checks going on while you play, and thus initilizing the FADE protection system. Has anyone played the game a good deal into career mode using the crack? I don't want to spend weeks working my way up the ladder, only to find FADE kicking in and spoiling my game! Thanks
