Hey

I've just got back my copy of Pharaoh (Best Seller Series by Sierra), and I've found that my ex-friend who borrowed the CD seemed to have used the CD as some sort of way to sharpen his teeth (a heck of a lot scratches .. but its still readable .. just).

I've used the latest copy of ClonyXXL (without the CloneCD settings). It indicates that it uses the 'Illegal TOC' protection. I'm not too sure what settings I should use for copying the game, and I really don't want a coaster. Do I use the 'Protected Game' profile .. or must I use a custom one?

If there is a custom profile, would someone please post it, I'm too lazy to create my own

I am not worthy

Illegal TOC can be read with any Profile. An Illegal TOC is hardly a copy-protection since even Nero Burning Rom can defeat it. CloneCD reads the disc as it is and will ignore an Illegal TOC. Since the disc is scratched I would suggest you use the default Data Profile but keep an eye on the CloneCD log window. When read errors occur you should reduce the read speed.

Thank you very much for your swift reply!

I think I will leave the copying at the minimum speed I can go.

Thank you!

The latest liteon writer (52327s) which has a mediatek 7 chipset, is able to burn securom NEW 4.8 using the normal profile instead of Lite-On SecuRom [NEW]?

No. See here for how to copy securom 4.8x with a Lite-on writer.

Well when are they ready??? I think we are alot of people who need some new profiles. As an example I need a Ring Protech profile, and some profiles for audio protections would be nice too. thanks in advance.

FutureProof wrote that when there were no profiles at all. The profiles he is refering to are from August 7th and are on the first page of this thread.

Read: FES on, IBBS (500) on, everything else off.
Write: Everything off.

think you mean IBSS(500), but why is that 500 instead of 100 all of a sudden?

Yep, bad typing on my part. It is, of course, IBSS (Intelligent Bad Sector Scanner).

Why 500? Because the ring will contain between 2,500 and 3,500 consecutive bad sectors and the practical experience of numerous testers has shown that a sector step of 500 is close to the optimum both for speed of dumping and for likelihood of a successful copy.

Being a sour Nero6 user, I resorted to CloneCD4.2.0.2, the option of enabling "Regenerate Data Sectors" in reading profile for VCDs makes reading VCD with `bad Sectors` so much faster and reliable although it is not mandatory for VCD copying; basically it is a "Data CD" default profile with regenerating data sectors enabled, using defauly DAO RAW mode writing.

Wow ... i finally found the help i needed to backup my Diablo 2 Play Disc cd. A prefect 1:1 copy. Thx guys!

are these profiles still used with the new version of clonecd?

Should all still work.

Yes

ok thanks for both answers..lol!

ps using the defualt protected game profile backed up safedisk 2.9 no problems.

I have just seen that you have updated the profiles for download. Great. Just wondering what the updates were and secondly why SafeDisc (1/2/2.51) - no AWS and SafeDisc (2/2.51) - AWS arn't in the "All In One Download Pack". Related, In the "All In One Download Pack" there are many SafeDisc 2 profiles. Do these replace the afore mentioned ones?

Safedisc profiles have been updated to switch FES setting from on to auto (FP's recent tests have shown significantly better results with sd 2.9 with FES set to auto).

The profiles have been updated but the text in the post has not. Hopefully, the new profiles are self explanatory (maybe they're not!). I'll compile a short explanation, then post before completing a rewrite.

Thanks you two. I just wanted to be clear what you had done and what the new/ updated ones did.

Hi guys.....
excuse my ignorance, but from the new profiles I note there are 4 options for SafeDisc2.
I have a Lite-On LTR-48125W burner. Which profile shud I be using to make back-up copies of various SafeDisc protected games both recent and old

cheers

The profiles have been updated but the text in the post has not. Hopefully, the new profiles are self explanatory (maybe they're not!).

Here's a short explanation:[list=1][*]Audio CD.ccp
CloneCD Default Profile;
[CloneCD DefaultReadPrefs] > FirstSessionOnly=1 Ensures that the protective {second} data session is ignored.
[*]Damaged Audio.ccp
Custom profile;
[CloneCD ReadPrefs] > read subs, regenerate data; slow read/best quality;
[CloneCD WritePrefs] > WriteSpeed=8
[*]Damaged Data.ccp
Custom Profile
[CloneCD ReadPrefs] > RegenerateData=1
[*]Data CD.ccp
CloneCD Default Profile;
[CloneCD ReadPrefs] > RegenerateData=1 ; AbortOnReadError=1
[*]Game CD.ccp
CloneCD Default Profile;
Just about all options, that work in combination, are enabled. This profile will read subs, fix errors and regenerate EDC/ECC, Amplify Weak Sectors (a no-no for some writers), scan bad sectors and leave subchannel data ‘as-is’ for PSX/LibCrypt.
[*]Karaoke.ccp
Custom profile. Karaoke is big in some countries and there are professionals who make some decent money. They *never* take their originals on the road.
[CloneCD ReadPrefs] > ReadSubData=1 ReadSubAudio=1 AbortOnReadError=1 ReadSpeedAudio=8 (essential for red Book Audio) AudioQuality=3
[*]LaserLock.ccp
Custom profile; the key is scanning the gross number of bad sectors
[CloneCD ReadPrefs] > FastErrorSkip=1 IntelligentBadSectorScan=1 SectorSkip=100
[*]Multimedia Audio CD.ccp
Default profile
[CloneCD ReadPrefs] > ReadSubAudio=1 (it’s unlikely that the audio is Red Book format)
[*]Plain Old Data.ccp
Custom profile (minimum of fuss and potential for error)
[*]Protect CD.ccp
Custom profile for subs and error protection. I found that audio subs assists better sound
[CloneCD ReadPrefs] > ReadSubData=1 ReadSubAudio=1 FastErrorSkip=2 ReadSpeedData=8 ReadSpeedAudio=8 IntelligentBadSectorScan=1 SectorSkip=100 AudioQuality=3
[*]Protected PC Game.ccp
Default profile with just about everything enabled. The AWS option may produce coasters in certain writers.
[*]PSX [LibCrypt] 8x.ccp
Custom profile; use for CDs suspected to contain Red Book audio and Full Motion Video (FMV)
[CloneCD ReadPrefs] > ReadSubData=1 ReadSubAudio=1 AbortOnReadError=1 FastErrorSkip=0 (must be off or auto) ReadSpeedAudio=8 AudioQuality=0 (can be made better but Red Book audio rare on PSX)
[CloneCD WritePrefs] > DontRepairSubchannelData=1 (essential) WriteSpeed=8 (required due to differences between PSX and CD-RW discs)
[*]PSX [LibCrypt] Max Read and Write.ccp
Custom profile: A max read and write with quality devices and media
[*]Ring PROTECH.ccp
Custom profile; characterised by gross errors and suspected subchannel information.
[CloneCD ReadPrefs] ReadSubData=1 ReadSubAudio=1 FastErrorSkip=2 IntelligentBadSectorScan=1 SectorSkip=500
[*]SafeDisc 1.ccp
Custom profile; characterised by weak sectors. One-sheep writers OK.
[CloneCD ReadPrefs] > FastErrorSkip=1 (on or auto – doesn’t matter); read/write at max
[CloneCD WritePrefs] > AmplifyWeak=1 (for no-sheep writers – should not affect one or two-sheep writers)
[*]SafeDisc 2 [Amplify].ccp
Custom Profile: required for one-sheep writers in SD2.51+ and no-sheep writers for < 2.51
[*]SafeDisc 2 [Emulate].ccp
Custom Profile: works with just about any writer
[*]SafeDisc 2 [Ignore].ccp
Custom Profile: required for one-sheep writers < SD2.51+ and two-sheep writers for 2.51+
[*]SafeDisc 2.9x [8x read and write].ccp
Custom Profile: works for some one and two sheep writers for SD2.9x
[*]SecuROM [NEW] for LITEON.ccp
Custom Profile: Warcraft 3 and Neverwinter Nights era games where reading reliability was key
[*]SecuROM 4.8x for twinpeak.ccp
Custom Profile: as it states!
[*]SecuROM.ccp
Custom Profile: for older games[/list=1]Look here for tips and tricks BEFORE posting your question here

If you think I've made a mistake then please post just below

FutureProof......many thanks for your explanation.
Are you able to tell me how many "sheep" my Lite-on LTR-48125W burner is please.
I note that the CloneCD site is no longer offering that service

cheers

All Liteys except "1B" models are two-sheep burners (99% of 'em anyway - some don't).

FP you ever get that sd 2.9x profile to work with sims superstar and the toshi sd-m1402? i got it somewhat working with my own profile and the asus..that same profile and my tdk works like a charm. see your sticky on sd and sims superstar for details.
