LaserLock Developed by MLS LaserLock
International company, LaserLock uses a combination of software
encryption techniques and unique laser marking on the protected CD's surface
made during the special LaserLock CD mastering procedure, making copying
practically impossible. Each and every protected CD application has a
unique locking parameter that provides a complete protection against illegal
re-mastering and reproduction. For more information on how the LaserLock
protection was developed please visit the LaserLock
website.
Detection Of The Protection
The following hidden directory should exist
on the original CD: LaserLock. The files in this directory contain
unreadable errors.
You can use one of the many protection
detection tools from our Game Copy Protection Identifying Tools page to identify
whether the protection is being used on your
game.
Burning/Backup Solution
There are several different methods you
can use to successfully burn/backup your game, as follows:
You can use the Generic LaserLock
Patch. This patch currently will patch up LaserLock
v4.03.x,
LaserLock 4.05.x and
LaserLock 5.00.x. Also available is the LaserLock Import Fixer
which will also bypass the protection.
You
can use CloneCD to successfully burn the
game. Use ClonyXXL to scan the game,
it will then tell you what protection is being used on the game (LaserLock)
and the correct settings to use in CloneCD
to successfully backup the game. You can also use Alcoholer
protection scanner and Alcohol 120%
burning software. Use Alcoholer to
scan the game, it will then tell you what protection is being used on the
game (LaserLock) and the correct settings to use in Alcohol
120% to successfully backup the game. BlindWrite
can also successfully burn a game with this protection on it. You can also use
Daemon
Tools to emulate the game and the protection. *Remember,
if you experience problems with burning the game at high speeds, (2 speed +)
(both the read and write process), then burn the game at lower speeds such
as 2 speed and under (both read and write process). A lot of the time
burning the game at slow speeds will solve problems of the install not
working, or the burner not bypassing the CD's protection.
