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.
