I posted a reply to this yesterday but it didnt show up. I have to say you are wrong about CloneCD not being able to copy Safedisk 2. I made a working copy of Red Alert 2 which is protected with Safedisk 2 , 2 days ago.

Over at cloneclinic he said it won't copy Safedisk 2, but he also said that writers made by philips or rebadged philips do copy it. Safedisk 2 somehow overloads something in the writer so it end up messing up the copy, but the philips writers don't seem to be affected by this. I also think a plextor drive can copy it but i think that drive is also based on a philips. Can you tell me what drive you have.

Yeah ..I have a Plextor PX-W8432 , so I guess that explains why buddy couldnt copy it and I could. I use that to read to the image, and he made about 8 coasters trying with differnt burners and Roms he has.

"But will it work in other CD Rom readers?

i just found out that games use a different levels of safedisk 2, dflw seems to use a a low level which is easier to copy, but games like ra2 use all the levels which make it a bitch to copy.

Just a bit of a update. The reason the Philips can burn SD2 that work on cd and dvd rom drive is because some how SD2 overloads the buffer on the writer. Because of this the writer they f**ks up the copy. For some reason the Philips writers are not affected by this overload so they can make perfect copies. I don't really understand exaclty how it manages to do this. Also there something do with laser power. Again i don't really understand how this works. If you won't to read more about it go to cloneclinic and seach for a post by a guy called LocutusofBorg2k called 'the mechanism of safedisk 2' also search for a post by Olli 'the new protection'. They both talk about how it work. The LocutusofBorg2k guy is developing something for plextor and sony drives which should make them copy SD2 but he not saying much because he doesn't know if it's going to work.
