First, there is no public unsafedisc 2.70.30, second it is not impossible to remove the protection (It can be done quite easy if you know your ****)
Just watch your breakpoints when tracing the code

sorry but I stink @ cracking.
even though i know the basics and level 2 cracking I havent been doing any progress afterwards

Cracking is very, very easy. As you know the basics and level 2 cracking try to reach level 3 of reverse engineering by reading tutorials. This brings you very, very far and you can easily send your files to gcw after you have cracked them. The described file Mafia v.1.3 is a very easy one you can crack it while brushing your teeth or combing your hair. Cause it´s only safedisc v 2.70.30

Tuts should only be seen as a guideline if you have no clue what you're up to.
As I said, it can be done *quite* easy if you know what you're dealing with.
Learn to pass the debugger checks first (easy), find Oep, get decrypted stuff, dump, rebuild IAT. A good tracer could be your best friend and oh, be careful when putting bpx:s on api, safedisc checks them and if it catches you...bye-bye..now you have some good clues

I finaly figured out a way to make the so called *cracked* exe.
The problem was that it only had the SafeDisk removed and not the normal CD check. And a long time I couldn't find the string in it because I was using the Brat Patched version of W32Dasm.
The offset of the nessesary change (in the first version of Mafia) is 0x0022407E. And the byte should be changed from 75 to EB
