CDFreaks: New protection requires special media for dublication

Written by Lasse Penttinen @ 22 Mar 2002 9:57

"I've spoken to more developers and according to all of them, there is sad news. There will be no software able to make a 1:1 copy of Starforce (and Tages!?) protected CDs.

Because the Starforce protection seems to depend on the CD pressing technique used in the manufacturering plant, it will need special media to make a backup or it will only run with an emulator enabled."
