The error message appears quite quickly, so SafeDisc shouldn't have done a CRC check.

Does SafeDisc check the data with a kind of spot tests?

Maxi images can only be made on DVD's "for now". I am ****ing around with the bugger to make a maxi image from a CD, and I am having some success. Expiriment a bit with what can be 00'd out and what not, you will see what I mean.

That's a little cryptic, don't you think, rendari? I mean, if you would be so kind as to tell us what's needed to be 00'd out to make a maxi image, we'd all be a lot wiser, and bugging you a lot less, now wouldn't we?

I wish someone would just give us a straight, step by step, answer of how to make a working mini maxi image, and the tools required...

Do it my way.

Get a full image of a game that a maxi image is out for.

Compare the full image to the maxi image.

And congragulations, you can now make a maxi image with a DVD.

Its harder for a CD tho because the ****er checks for weak sectors implanted in the middle of the CD.
If you accidentally 00 out those weak sectors *bam* "Incorrect CD...".

So, pretty much, I am working on figuring what it checks for in the CD, and trying not to 00 that out.

google sd4hide.exe

Rendari, good point, and while that makes sense to me (I think) having had some hex-editing background, it'll probably go over other people's heads... is this the only way to make a maxi image? I thought it had to do with a really high form of compression, but if it's just 00'ing out, I guess it makes sense, but that's kinda disappointing...

Here I was, expecting some new form of technology for compression... I guess one can dream
