ProtectCD ProtectCD
ProtectCD uses the complete integration of the protection in the
Install Shield Scripts. Developed by VOB, it is actually quite
easy to get around the protection as long as the CD-Reader supports RAW (MMC DAO
RAW) mode reading and supports Sub-Channel writing. For more information on how the ProtectCD
protection was developed please visit
the ProtectCD website.
Detection Of The Protection
Open
the main executable, using a HexEditor and search for the following ASCII text
(it should appear a few times): VOB. This
is the protections file name as it appears.
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:
CloneCD and BlindRead will both support this Protection
as long as the CD reader you are using to burn the game supports RAW (MMC DAO
RAW) mode reading and supports Sub-Channel writing.
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 (ProtectCD)
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 (ProtectCD) 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.
