Not true . **** around with Alcohol a bit, and you will make it

BE SPECIFIC

Yeah, I would prefer a Mini Image too! Please tell how or give a link for it . . .
Full Image is nice, but saving 1,3 GB is better . . .

Hmm its something hard 2 understand...

Its a little things I came up with... If you open up a safedisc image you will see that all the weak sectors are positioned the same way in each .MDF. So, you could make a .MDF without the weak sectors, inject them, and then generate a .MDS file for the accompanying .MDF. Then mount it on daemon and it should run.

However, this works only from game to game, and I am working the kinks out. Sometimes the mini images run, and sometimes they dont. Very puzzling hmm...

Anyways, I got it to work with some SD protected DVDs, like Civ 4 and Quake 4, but like I said, they only work 80% of the time, and I wanna figure out why only 80%, why not always?

Also, there is another strange thing here. I thought that Safedisc checks something else on the DVD instead of weak sectors like in the CD. If so, then why do DVD images with weak sectors injected
in them sometimes run?

OK, seems I am a little too stupid for that - I will use my full Image untill someone will post a Mini Image or a no CD (right now I have nearly 60 GB free, so it´s no real Problem ).

Ok,
I got this working last night.

I mounted the image in Alcohol 120%, then ran Virtual_cd_hide
which can be obtained from gamecopyworld. Just right click on the system tray icon and enable virtual_cd_hide.
Now run your shortcut to the executable.

Give that a try. It worked great for me

Just went over to a friend who has the original of this game CD Version. I have DVD Version. His copy wont work lol. GJ safedisc, really GJ. This is max protection, where the real game wont work even :P

EDIT

Just went to the 2k games website. Their support button doesnt work, and when I call their phone I get a sexy woman telling me the number doesnt exist.

Wow. Thats all I have to say.

My friend just wasted $55. Hes beyond pissed :P.
