A-Ray Scanner. I find Protection ID doesn't do the job quite like A-Ray does. Go A-Ray!

Yep, you can just do a securom new 4.x/5.x read with alcohol using mds/mdf format, patch with twincreator and then burn the patched image with alcohol using securom new (not securom new 4.x/5.x) settings for a working twinpeak copy.

No need to use blindwrite's bwa builder or to save in CloneCD format before patching. I don't currently have either blindwrite (or bwa builder) or CloneCD on my home system but had no difficulty in making a working back-up of a securom 5.x protected game about a week ago using nothing more than alcohol and a-ray's twincreator.

I'll write a short tutorial for the method if I have time over the Christmas break downunder.

Re: What copy protection scanner do you mainly use?
I just discovered today that Aray Scanner is probably better at scanning the whole CD then ProID, but ProID wins over exe scanning.

Re: What copy protection scanner do you mainly use?
Yeh... but TwinCreator could have said it was a TwinPeak mod, rather than trying to covering it up as a whole new program.

A little harsh don't you think? I'm sure there are better words than steal, but coming from you expected. If you would have looked in A-Rays about and then his thanks you'll see cdkiller among them, so I don't think you phrased that to well, you assumed before you asked.

Re: What copy protection scanner do you mainly use?
Although A-Ray is a very good tool, and alot of hard work has gone into it, I do feel that parts of it are "Borrowed" from other programs.

I think A-Ray's straitfoward look, feel and performance makes me go with it.

Re: What copy protection scanner do you mainly use?
compaired to:

It should really say "modded by A-Ray team" as it is a mod, not a new program.
why do a few parts of the program still say "TwinPeak"?
There is no mention of blackcheck in the about



In the PROTECTiON iD about it also mentions R!Co, so I dont think there are any problems between CDKiLLER and R!Co,



So the log window is probably ok, however I am not sure about TwinPeak/TwinCreator.

Ben

ps. Very sorry if I am wrong and blackcheck gave his permission, or things are ok, I am just going on what I can see

Use the search function, search blackcheck, i'm not going to do your work for you, read his own words.

and by the way I use A-ray first and if it picks nothing up I check it with PId

I guess you didn't use the advanced search so here's just a few links to get you started, you'll even find the code posted, all you have to do is search, it's not that hard, and this has gone way off topic:
