Hi...Does anybody know how to copy new Securom and Safedisc 2 protected cds?

Hi all....I have tried to copy some games that use the new Securom and Safedisc 2 protections with no good results....so anybody knows how?
I have used Clone cd with this options enabled:
- read subchannel data from data tracks
- read subchannel data from audio tracks
I have also used blind read and then Cdrwin.....but nothing!
Thanks in advance.

Did you choose "don't repair subchannel Data" during your write?? If you did that means your cdwriter for some reason is not compatible with cloneCD because it will copy ANY game if your cdwriter will work. If you can't use clonecd I would recommend that you try blineread/blindwrite. They might work for you.

I was unable to copy Chicken Run using Clone CD v2.8.3.1 and a Ricoh 7083a CD writer. The Ricoh was 100% compatible with Clone CD and I followed your (Cybercop) instructions to the letter.
I also tried Blind Read/Write and Disk Juggler. Neither worked so I ended up using Easy Cd Creator Deluxe to make a standard copy and will have to wait for the crack from GCW.

Yea, I had the same problem with ALICE. Luckily there was a crack out there. 1st time clonecd hasn't worked for me.

You just can't copy those games, there might be 1-2 cd writers that will do it but i've tried several plextor, ricoh n yamaha and none can whether u use cybercop's settings or not

With Diablo2 I had the same problems, but nowadays there are enough patches.
Just go to www.megagames.com. Maybe there's a useful crack or exe.

Don't write this shit! CloneCd can't copy Securom-protected Games. I've got
Asus Reader and HP 7200-writer and still cannot copy Diablo2 so it works!

clonecd can copy securom games!!!!!!
perhaps you did something wrong!

Marnum,

We here at GCW's forum struggle to put out only ACCURATE information!! Please do not put out information that is inaccurate. CloneCD can copy ANY GAME WITH ANY PROTECTION!!! THE SETTINGS GIVEN OUT ARE PERFECT!! THE PROBLEM IS THAT NOT ALL CDWRITERS ARE COMPATIBLE AND SOME PEOPLE NEED TO PLAY WITH SETTINS FROM TIME TO TIME. I CAN BACK-UP ANY GAME WITH ANY PROTECTION...PERIOD!!! Please do not doubt my abilities unless you are sitting in my seat and wearing my shoes!!
I had vowed not to come back to this forum do to people like you but I have decided that people need my help since people like you are putting out soooooo much bad information. Try looking up "Tact" in the dictionary...now once you see what the definition is why don't you try to live up to it!! If you disagree with someones directions, opinions etc..why don't you talk to them about it rather than jumping to conclusions?? Sounds logical doesn't it??

ps, GRAMMER, GRAMMER, GRAMMER

Now for everyone else...I'm back and your questions are once again welcome!!! 8)

Which reader / writer combination do you use to copy any game? I'm looking forward to buy me a new writer so which one shall I buy to be able to copy any protection with cloneCd 2.8.3.1???

Thx in advance...

I have successfully burned working backups of Diablo II, NOLF, and Alice using CloneCD and a Plextor 12/10/32 EIDE. I used the "read subchannel audio data" and "ignor read errors" options. By the way, these take FOREVER to read. Stays on 0% for a couple hours, but it does work if you wait long enough.

[john440]

i have managed to backup 100%
hitman
project igi
diablo II
alice
using clonecd and mitsumi 4804te

don't ya just hate it when peeps say it can't be done and you are sitting at home DOING it..........

[Vader011]

Hey John440, what settings were you using on CloneCD to do Hitman? I got a Sony CRX-140E, and using clone CD I have only been able to make nice coasters. I do have access to a Mitsumi 4804 though... Any words of wisdom would be appreciated. Also, reply to e-mail and post here... I don't get here that often.

Project IGI is no problem, cause the copy worx wihout reading subchannel data & audio... just copied the game with no option checked in clonecd with my iomega zipcd 650 writer *s*
