Q)Serpeant
Does 'hide CDR media' now mean something else? Perhaps is this emulation rather than 100% 1:1 copy?
======================================================
A)Ollie Most likely it means "Hide DVD-R/+R/RW/RAM" media as well?
My opinion on this: Without any "ATIP/whatever DVD media has" hide function you're not getting anywhere with "normal" equipment.
So it makes not much difference, if Macrovision blacklists the ATIP Hide, or a weak sector emulation. Result is the same.
So, why go through all the trouble of picking the correct reader / writer, if (a perfect) emulation can do it for you?
I believe this is the strategy SlySoft is following. Pretty clever, because they give a damn about 1,2,3 or 4 sheep burners, customer questions like "Does writer xxx copy game yyy?"
I don't care if it uses emulation or not. I don't use custom profiles. I use the "Protected Game" (CD) or "DVD" (DVD) profile, make a safety backup of the original, and it works with SD 3.2, and that's all what I want.
If you want to run it on another (gaming?) PC, install CloneCD there, you'll need some ATIP hider anyway. You will never need a serial code just to use HideCDR.
The image runs from Virtual CloneDrive as well (I use this instead of DT, because I've made it, and I know, what it is doing). But this is just my very personal and biased opinion.
======================================================
Shoey(comment)-> The days of making 1:1 backups are slowly coming to and end. No "special' burners will need to be purchased to backup future cd protection such as Macrovision's Safedisc. This will be achieved by emulation :)
