iNSTALL iNFO

1. Burn using BlindWrite 4.5.7 (to disable emulation, uncheck
autoplay/enhance weak sectors in options menu)
2. Only CD2 was protected, use DiESEL CD1 to install.

NOTE: DiESEL released an Emulation only A120% clone of this game,
that you can patch with TwinCreator if you would want to remove
Emulation and make it a standalone, however such abuse will
irreversebly screw up image integrity adding to size of image
and filling it with bin errors (CDMage will crash becouse of
the amount of errors is equal to the amount of sectors) which
will undoubtfully make it near impossible to install, unless you
own a LiteON burner or another brand of error-skipper, which brings
us to CXZiSO release, suffice to say that ther is no way such low
quality image can be called *PROPER* much less a *CloneCD*,
obviously these terms are missunderstood by the above mentioned
group, that seems to belive theres no other way to clone a Mode 2
SecuROM, but to torture it with a long forgotten freeware
app (twinpeak.02) that was abandoned by the author when still
in pre-beta stage.

This is why BlindWrite is the best for SecuROM 4.xx/5.xx

BlindWrite will make a perfectly good image of Mode 2/Mode 1
and will offer 3 options of burning SecuROM.
#1: Emulation that does not require a full installation of
BlindWrite, downloading and installing an 860 kB in size Autoplay
driver would be sufficient.
#2: BlindWrite also offers an excellent Twinsector burn which is
far more compatible than twincreator/twinpeak patch, and will not
resize the image or fill it with bin errors.
#3: If you are a lucky owner of a Plextor Premium burner, you can
actually burn a perfect 1:1 Clone that does not differ from your
retail CD other than the fact that one is burnt and the other is
pressed at a manufacturing plant.
