@CDKiller
I've just sent you the scans for Vampires-The Masquerade Bloodlines and Full Spectrum Warrior.
Pid keeps crashing with Vampires CD1?

try to help you create the ultimate scanner

v5.0c (Protection Update #1)
-----------------------------
v6.0 is progressing very well and the changes are incredible but we thought
we should release v5.0c to keep you up to date because protections have changed...

- added: Safedisc v3.20 - 4.xx detection with removed version
i.e. Need For Speed Underground 2, Flatout, The Lord of The Rings The Battle For Middle-Earth, Knight Rider 2
- added: 3PLock detection (i.e. Kreed, RTL Skijump 2005, RTL Ski Alpine 2005)
(consider our protection as the most proper one because we don´t simply scan for the section names '.ldr' and '.ldt'
like another scanner who also tells windows internal dlls are protected with 3PLock, we are anaylsing the exe ;-)
- improved: totally rewritten Safedisc detection (much faster and highly accurate)

Our goal is to keep you up to date. While continuing work on v6.0 we might put out some more minor updated v5.0 x versions,
depends on how much PC Game protections will change.

just for info:
Runaway: A Road Adventure GERMAN DVD: pid doesnt detect the dvd-check

here are the strings i found in hex editor (not shown in string references in win32disasm):
BITTE RUNAWAY-DVD EINLEGEN
Runaway-DVD nicht gefunden
Bitte legen Sie Runaway-DVD ein

so pid should look for:
Bitte legen Sie
DVD nicht gefunden
DVD EINLEGEN

@CD Killer
I've just emailed the scan for Chronicles of Rid**** Escape from Butchers Bay CD1.
Protection ID v6 did not detect any Protection!
A-Ray Scanner did detect SecuRom on CD1.

you´ve got pm

@Grumpy
i haven´t spend much time for the cd/dvd sector scan of securom/safedisc.
the detection works fine for me but a few testers reported it didn´t work for them. atm i´m fixing all the bugs inside the executable protection detections. once i think it´s as-bugfree-as-possible i´ll spend my time on the cd/dvd sector fixing.

/the pid developers team wishes a happy new year to everyone of you
