Read up on how SafeDisc works on the internet, shouldn't be too hard to
find (;

redhouse [01-01-1999]: "is their a cent of racism in red alert?"
- Kit: "No. The fact that in Red Alert while most countries had
advantages (russians-lower cost, ukraine-faster units) and the French
had *slower* rate of fire is purely coincidental

You're right- it's not hard to find, but ddump seems to be the
standard way to do such a copy and that doesn't work (using "ddump
0:0:0 disc1 SAFEDISC" works for other games, but not for Command and
Conquer: Renegade).  Does anyone know a tool that will copy this game?

Ever since I scratched and destroyed Max Payne, I don't mess around
with SafeDisc originals.  It really turns a disc into a fragile piece
of garbage.

err, wait a minute. Are you saying that you managed to destroy an
original CD by trying to copy it?

Thanks, I'll try it.

Nono- I'm just saying that I just scratched it up.

Safedisc disks are well known to be fragile.  I guess their secret
magical copy protection takes the place of the error correction.
