Club CDFreaks - Knowledge is Power - View Single Post - CloneCD: Copying SecuROM 4.8x protected games

First off, thanks for posting such a thorough and clear explanation! I especially like the preemptive strike on noobs and flame-baiters.

QUESTION: With a patched CloneCD image, will it work with the VirtualCD feature?

Reason: I hate having to load the CD every time I want to play. I also hate having my CD drive spin up just so it can run it's check. Running UT2003 benchmark is brutal on the drive!

The Q3A guys were generous enough to remove CD checking in a patch. I am more likely to play Q3A over UT2K3 just because I don't have to find and load the stupid CD.

In fact, I would pay a small premium to the game developer to remove the copy protection check. I hate it that much!
