Here's another guide sent in by those nice peeps @ CDFreaks.com. If you're having problems backing up the latest Safedisc 2 protected games then check out this guide.
If you are attempting to copy The Sims Unleashed, Total Club Manager, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2 or any other game protected with Safedisc 2.8x, the only reliable methods are to use Alcohol or make an image with Discdump and burn that image with Fireburner in either DAO16 or DAO96 mode. A Discdump image burnt with Nero in DAO96 mode generally will also work but the copy will be inferior to one made using Fireburner. Reports as to attempts (and my personal experience) with Discjuggler, Blindwrite, Cdmate and Burnatonce (image read with internal Discdump) are mixed. There have been a number of successes but also a number of failures with those programs. Note: Although this thread is about software other than CloneCD, with the current version of CloneCD (4.2.0.2), CloneCD also falls into the hit or miss category along with Discjuggler, Blindwrite, Cdmate and Burnatonce.
