I used ClonyXXL to detect the protection of Homeworld and it could not recognize it, but I think it was none.
Then I used Protection ID and it recognized a CD check.
I used Alcohol 120% and BlindRead to make an image and I ran the image on the virtual drive, but the game wouldn't load because of invalid CD error.
I previously used BlindRead to make an image of Warcraft 3 and it worked fine on the virtual drive, but for that I could not make a working CD out of it.
I need to know how to get around the CD check for Homeworld and possibly point me in the right direction regarding Warcraft 3 and burning.
The Homeworld CD check issue is most important to me though.
Please Help!!
Thank you

Homeworld is SecuROM cd protected as well as Warcraft III. Use BlindWrite 4.25 and read the image(s) with sub-q and burn DAO pw. You might need a bwa file for Homeworld. Play your backups in your dvd\cd-rom and if that doesn't work then try your burner. You don't need a bwa file for SecuROM but for Homeworld, I'm not sure as I can't locate any bwa files at present.

How to backup SecuROM using BlindWrite:

Should you need emulation then use Daemon Tools and run in system tray and tick SecuROM emulation m8.
