max payne/ clone cd back will not play :(

[jimmy page]

i have un-installed max payne 1.01 and gone back to the original cd release. and using a back-up i re-installed mp, and it ####ted up ok, using the back-up i will not be using the 1.01 patch

the new version of safedisc2 is meant to have secrurom type of atip detection, which my combo drive has never been able to use back-up cd's.
it now seems the latest max payne has this tougher version which uses atip, a method only used with the securom protection. this seems like mana from heaven for macrovison.
