I'm going to do some gravedigging here, so I apologize in advance. I recently came across the issue of trying to detect SafeDisc v3/4 without ProtectionId. There seem to be no public instructions out there on how these protections are actually found. If anyone here has even the slightest conceptual idea, I'd love to hear it. Thanks in advance!

AFAIK the only way is to scan the game .exe

What is really important is C2 option that guarantees that dump is perfect, without it you're never sure if the dumps is correct or not...

I'm trying to dump the disc with CD Manipulator to see if I can get consistent results.

You must use /rc. Faulty sectors will be replaced with 0x55. You would have to patch in sectors from different image...

If I use DIC without the /rc option or CDManipulator without the Ignore read errors, will it work?

Also what is wrong with CloneCD? I am NOT redumping a couple of hundred discs if the fill pattern is different than 55.

1) 67 to 10066
2) 93024 to 93025
3) 275049 to 275050
4) 286368 to 286369
5) 303979 to 303980

I have 3 CDs with the same game (I bough the game 3 times). Each one of them has different combination of corrupted ranges:

CD1: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5
CD2: 1 + 2 + 4 + 5
CD3: 1 + 4 + 5

Safedisc v2.51.021

What to do with this stuff?

To be sure that the all corrupted sectors are dumped properly, it's important that a disc is at least dumped twice on different drives (and that the checksum matches on both drives).

If your disc also has audio sectors, it's important that you cut off the SafeDisc image to the size of the data track, and dump the audio tracks the normal way.

After dumping a proper SafeDisc image, you'll also have to include the following info:

- Amount of SafeDisc sectors. You can check this by opening the image in CDmage and scanning for corruption. The SafeDisc sectors will be within the range of 807 - 11920 (if you get them outside of this range, let us know) and will have a Medium Severity.
- SafeDisc version. Download Protection ID and open one of the game executables on the CD with it to get the SafeDisc version.
