Problem BACKING UP Grandia 2 ---> Protected by SafeDisc v2.5

[Soulstice]

Hey everyone,

I'm having trouble backing up a couple of CDs. The first CD is Grandia II's PLAY DISC. I used ClonyXXL to detect the CD protection, and it reported back as "SafeDisc v2.5"

I've had no problem in the past copying SafeDisc v2 CDs, such as Hitman: Code Name 42, but I've never seen v2.5 before. Anyway, I attempted to back the CD up using the recommended SafeDisk v2 method in CD Mate, but after the copy completed, I was unable to play the game. The copy did not report any problems, and the CD reads fine, but obviously the COPY missed something.... ...the game reports that the proper CD is NOT inserted in the CD drive and exits out!

I'm unsure what type of new features SafeDisc v2.5 incorporates aside from the regular BAD SECTORS, but obviously it is something that I have never ran into before.

If anyone knows what I'm talking about, or has any idea how to backup Grandia II, please let me know.

Thanks,


Soul
