Hexalock has not been used on any commercial game title.

Yup, this is again one of those protections that would require some ISO patching before a backup can be made - this is due to the wrapper encryption via decoding from secure blocks on the disc.

I believe this is roughly the same principle as Star-Force, therefore the problem is not the extraction of these sectors, it is the extraction of the digital signature contained in the data preparation sector of the CD.

It shouldnt be too long before the boys figure out a way to extract this key, if it can be read by the PC, it can be written! :-)
