I bought NOLF 2 in October 2002....and I just check the CD spirals the look fine not changed.....Hitman 2 has really changed spirals to stop a 1:1 copy......the easiest way to copy SecureROM new games for me is using WINISO make CD Image with ISO...then use Fireburner and burn to restore the orginal CD content....works everytime with any game even Safe Disk 2 cause you can skip the bad sectors just like Clone CD's Fast Error Skip....but I understand if you guys wanna experiment....Tell me this why is SecureROM and Safe Disk the only USA security I've ever come across?
