HELP!!! CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN SAFEDISC???

[crispy]

Okay mate, there are a few options (as long as the game in question is not protected with the new version of safedisc e.g. C&C RedAlert).
The old safedisc works by encoding a digital signature on to the CD which is used to decrypt the main game.exe file. An unperfect copy will not have this "code" on it and will not therefore run.
Here are the options open to you. CloneCD is the best option if your burner is supported as it will do a perfect(!) copy

1.Download CloneCD from a suitable site and use this to make a perfect copy.

Advantages - you will have a true 1:1 copy which will work on any CDROM. You can always update your game with official patches as nothing has changed
Disadvantages - need a compatible burner (check out www.elaborate-bytes.com ) for CloneCD to work properly.

2. Copy CD using your EZ CD creator and use Daemon tools ( www.daemonshome.cjb.net ) which emulates the Safedisc protection and allows you to run from a copied CD.
Disadvantages - This copy will always need daemon Tools to work as the safedisk digital signature will not be on the CD.
Advantages - You don't need any other burning software and you can update with future patches

3. Use Unsafedisc to remove the protection then burn everything to a CD (see my earlier post).
Advantages - You don't need any other burning software.
Disadvantages - you will never be able to update your game with official patches as you will have changed the original game file.


Hope this helps.
