Dumping SafeDisc CD's

[ssjkakaroto]

My plextor can't dump this disc and my other drives don't support d8 command, so I can't use the /rc option in DIC.
I'm trying to dump the disc with CD Manipulator to see if I can get consistent results.

D8 for Safedisc is only to speed up ripping process. Erroneous sectors are read in scrambled mode and the drive does not verify EDC/ECC.

What is really important is C2 option that guarantees that dump is perfect, without it you're never sure if the dumps is correct or not...

I'm going to do some gravedigging here, so I apologize in advance. I recently came across the issue of trying to detect SafeDisc v3/4 without ProtectionId. There seem to be no public instructions out there on how these protections are actually found. If anyone here has even the slightest conceptual idea, I'd love to hear it. Thanks in advance!

AFAIK the only way is to scan the game .exe
