Hiding CD-R Media question

[RaMDaY]

I’m one of those picky people that hate to have thing running in the background. I know with some of the new Safedisc protected games you need to use the Clone CD tray icon to hide CD-R media. I’m looking for way to burn the backups so that they don’t even look for CD-R media because I rather not have the little Clone CD thing running in the background when I go the play the game.

patching as in cracked EXE?

[Shadow_of_KoRn]

In some cases you replace an exe with a cracked one or in others you patch your existing exe. Of course you need to find the right one for your game. Try going to google and doing a search for, lets say, oh I don't know, maybe game and copy "I'm feeling lucky". ;^P

I think what you want to do is to erase the atip on the cdr so that the game doesn't detect it. I can tell you, this is not possible. atip is not erasable. we have spoken about this for years on the old cloneclinic and on cdfreaks, the result of all the discussions: it's simply not possible. so either hide atip by using insectors v.2 (only win98), or alcohol (best solution - nothing runs in the background; alcohol just inserts a filter between cdburner and the system), or clonecd (works like alcohol, but ads this stupid prog into the tray), or use a crack. or play from a drive that can't read atip. alls cdrom and most of the dvd drives can't read atip. you do have a cdrom/dvd drive, right? because I heard of people who got only a burner in their system and use it for everything.

Ok this might be a dumb question but say I went out and bought one of these games that has this type of protection on it. Would I beable to play the original non-copied version in a burner?

The thing you look after is called PATCHING, which is not real 1:1 but anyway it will be the trend for the years to come.

it already is

i havent had an un patched game in my hands for over a year

yes, because the games you buy are not burned, they are printed on cd/dvd, so that they don't have an atip, because atip is only needed for burning, therefore it's present only on cdrs/cdrws/dvdr-s and whatever else, but not on printed cds, which are produced in plants.

guys,

are there any small programs that can hide the atip of a cd ?

i know about blindwrite with autoplay and clonecd, but all i'm looking for is a stand-alone prog that can do this...

Perhaps someone can code a
"Standalone" - ATIP-Hide program ?
