Hi, are there any limits on what can be dumped?

I have some old pc games like whiplash, worms and such, wondering if these dumps would fit in?

Games they are not heavy protected (protection that uses subchannels) are welcome.

Follows can be easily dumped, games with:
- CD-Checks only
- LaserLok / LaserLock (mastering errors in LASERLOK folder area, i believe in the beginning of the disc)
- CopyLok / CodeLok (protected EXE)
- SafeDisc (mastering errors in the beginning, mostly from sector 800 till 10000)
- Ring PROTECH / Ring PROTECH +  (mastering errors, in the end of the disc, many unreadable sectors, sector after sector, ca. 3500)
- Some SecuROM protected discs (1 error'ed sector in the end + subchannels), it is better to wait with dumping them!!!

Taboo protections are:
- StarForce all versions
- SecuROM discs they need subchannel data (.SUB) to run
- ...all the other protections they use subchannel data
