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?
