• 00000001.TMP
• 00000002.TMP - not always available!

The loader file (<GAME>.EXE) is now integrated into the main executable, making the <GAME>.ICD file obsolete. Also the CLOKSPL.EXE file, which was present in SafeDisc v1, does not exist anymore.

To check for the SD2 version seach the <GAME>.EXE file for this string: "BoG_ *90.0&!! Yy>", after this string there are 3 unsigned longs, these are the version, subversion and revision numbers (in hex!). A tool called SafediscAnalyzer is also able to return the SD2 version number. Read errors will be encountered between sector 800-10000 when making a backup, so it takes some time to complete a backup!

The protection also has "weak" sectors which causes synchronization problems with certain CD-Writers. Digital signatures are still present in this version.

Use Protection ID or ClonyXXL

• SafeDisc Emulators
  Create a 1:1 CD-Copy and then use DAEMON Tools, PlayBackup or Insektors to remove the protection from the game!
• Executable UnWrappers
  unSafeDisc or DumPlayerx can extract the real executable from the encrypted .ICD file, just replace the existing .EXE and burn it back to a CD-R or replace it after the game installation.

If your CD-Reader & CD-Writer both supports DAO RAW + Sub-Channel data then just do the 1:1 CD-Copy. If not use the DAEMON Tools, PlayBackup, Insectors, unSafeDisc or DumPlayerx to play the game!
