AlternativeTo lists some alternatives to Daemon Tools but I wouldn't be surprised if many of them lacked the copy protection support.However, it may have evolved into creepy spy/adware in the >10 years since I last thought about it. In the old days, Daemon Tools was a widely used CD-ROM emulator that had built-in support for widely used copy protection schemes.

Your options in these cases are probably limited to finding a cracked ("No-CD") executable, re-buying the game on GOG if available, or using an emulated CD drive. With recordable CDs you have no control over the angular placement of the sectors.

I think some schemes used the timings of sector reads to measure the relative angle of certain sectors on the disc. Since the pseudorandom bit sequence is always the same, you can construct sectors that always scramble to those bit patterns, so burning a copy on a consumer drive is likely to fail. Consumer CD burners generally don't support writing bad sectors.ĬD-ROM includes a scrambling step where the raw data is xored with pseudorandom bits in order to minimize the chance that the data actually written to disc will include certain bit patterns that were difficult for consumer drives to write.

The simplest trick was to include some bad sectors on the disc, and refuse to run if reading those sectors succeeded. With copy-protected CDs this will generally be impossible because the copy protection schemes were designed specifically to make it impossible.
