Alpha Rom

Does anyone have any information on this cd copying protection technology?

Their official site dosent say much other then it uses a combination of this and that and that its the best cd copy protection technology and cant be copied (just like every other cd copying protection technology company).

I dont want to hear lies and extremely vague information like that, does anyone have any useful information on Alpha Rom?

Like just how it works, how to detect it, and if its possible to make a burned copy or even an image copy of a disk protected with this technology?

I to havent heard of this type of protection and i have backed up lots "n" lots of game cds in the past. How about providing a link to there official web site so we can @ least have a look ?. Sorry i cant be any more help but this is a new type of protection to me. Do you know when "Alpa rom" came to be a protection or a game that its susposedly used on ?. Is it used on game cds or other stuff ?.

I am not 100% sure but I think this is the homepage

www.settec.net

Its pretty vague........ and in bad english

Seems to be used in japan pc software mostly, I import a lot of software, although luckily I havent run into this protection yet but I heard that its new, and tough to crack.............

It seems it is a mix of Safedisc2 (uncopyable sectors) and Securom New 4.8x (physical data structure)...

I see, that woudl make it pretty impossible to burn

What do you think my chances are of making a working cd image if I ever run into this? How would I even detect it?

Perhaps there is an AlphaRom/AlphaDisc Sign on the disc, like the "Sony DADC" on Securom protected cds ?!?

Well, like I said, I havent run into one yet, I want to know how to identify it and if its possible to make an iso to use on a virtual drive (or unlikely but even burn) should I run into it.
