Maybe I should try it again...
I made working copies of Morrowind with my Plextor 16x CD-RW and BlindWrite...

When VSO released their 4.2 blindwrite version, at that time they claimed that theirs was the only software capable of making 1:1 copies of safedisk 2.8 without any workaround needed, provided the writer wuz up to it. I'd advise U give it a try (! remember 2
disable weak sector amplification !) - with safedisk 2.x, in theory there is no need to Xtract subchannel data. But if you do, disregard Clonyxxl advice, for the 52246S is known to be far better at extracting subchannel data
at high speed 
(yes seems unbelievable to me too, but I copied UT2003 using Blindwrite at max read speed, successfully), so set read speed to max.
In theory, the 52246S (and even some previous LTRs) is 'ideal' for safedisk 2.xx schemes, even 2.8 & 2.9
However I've had contradictory reports concerning safedisk 2.8
Indeed on one hand I've heard that safedisk 2.8+ was specifically aimed at 'targetting the LTR 52246S's 6S chipset' - the @%*$¤§#! bastards
(anyways future Liteys such as 52327S will have new chipsets hehe...)
On the other hand I've had multiple reports of successful 1:1 safedisk 2.8 or even 2.9 backups created with this same writer, without any emulation needed...
Besides, to me having a protection scheme target a specific
chipset simply doesn't make sense, since software can only interact directly with a device's
firmware, not its chipset.
what is your firmware revision? (mine is '6SOF' - the latest
)
