modify cd contents of copy prtected game? - Club CDFreaks

*bcn_246* · 11-09-2004

ok, i have a game (BF1942 WWII Anthology, SafeDisk 2.9) and the icons doesnt work, as does the autoplay (the autoplay.ini isnt on the cd) anyway what i need to do is be able to add the icon files and autoplay.ini to the cd, but still be able to let it recognise it as the original cd, is there a way to do this?

anybody got any suggestions, ben

I think this could theoretically be possible. Let's assume you have a SafeDisc (any version) protected game. The core of the protection (the encrypted .exe file) doesn't read the files - it reads only the errors on the first 10.000 sectors of the disk. So, if you had a CloneCD image and Elby released an editor for *.ccd images, you could be able to put in a file without modifying SD's "weak sectors" and so the game would still work.

I think WinISO can add and remove files onto an .iso image but you cannot copy SafeDisc (weak sectors) information onto an iso image...
