Perhaps this has changed now, but several years ago various Windows programs started discriminating against some CD copying tools, refusing to work right when any trace of those tools was found in the Windows registry, claiming that the user had "piracy tools" installed. One of the programs discriminated against in this way was CloneCD, which forced me to stop using it. I haven't really tried it since then, as Alcohol can do all I ever used CloneCD for.

That hasn´t changed as far as I know.
I also have games, which recognize Alcohol and especially its virtual drive (which seems to be a copy of daemon-tools).

For CD-Backups I´ll stick at CloneCD (just because of the outcoming result).
CloneCD is not capable of reading "DPM-Info" like Alcohol 120% can.
I rather patch Sector-Gaps for those games into the image, or use other methods to re-create the correct Data-Position (I read the DPM-Info with Alc. or a similar programm and use CCD, to burn it, for example.).

There was no CD which passed my way, which I wasn´t able to copy with the tools from "Slysoft", or "Elaborate Bytes".

Alcohol 120% has worked fine for my backups too, including all those PS1 games with subchannel protection that need CloneCD format.

Not here.
It had problems on CD-Backups (not PS1-Discs, so it doesn´t matter for the TS) with several Copy-Protections (be it Audio-CDs, if I didn´t used AnyDVD or some PC-games).

I don´t like to have a burning-programm installed at all, just to run a copy of my game (without using a crack, or image).

I want to pop-in the game and it should work as the original which I couldn´t expect for any game with Securom above 4.8x, or ProtectCD V5,... since all those need the RMPS-Emulation for the DPM-Info (but it does work the way described before...).

Isobuster is what I would use, it'll handle psx discs. I havent bothered with a psx cd in a long time, but I used prassi, back in the day, and I had a prassi hack called psx cd copy pro, or something, that somone had "idot-proofed" the gui of, to help any idiot figure out how to do it. A big part of that was prassi's "gi" image format, though, it was what I always fell back on to copy just about anything. I liked that it split them for FAT compatablility, too. "Prassi Primo" has been bought and sold numerous times, with little revision, mosly just changing the nam e on the gui. I can remember: Sonic, Stomp, Neo DVD, Prassi Primo, Sony CD Extreme (WHICH WAS INCOMPATABLE WITH MY SONY DRIVE), HP-CD copy- that came stock on my first computer, an HP, so they had licance to it too. These are all the same software, there are other brandnames, but I use nero, now, I forget which programs are just prassi in disguise. This shuffling of ownership just prooves that prassi was the bomb, it retained value for its functionality, and made a lot of companies money.

I know this, becasue I got the info from one of the owners when I was a noob to everything, and one of the coolest parts of the arrangement is that the original version of Prassi Primo DVD, is now FREEWARE, so I'll post it. Mods: pull it if you want, but I wouldnt do it if I didnt have the information directly from one of the many copyright holders, in legaleze, it was part of the original sale of prassi's argreement, that theirs, the original, remain freeware forever, since the new owners intended to rename it and disguise the gui, anyway.
I doubt that you'll find this anywhere, anymore. I forget if it needs aspi, but I can stick that up, too.
I have the last known drive compatability updates, but I'm not sure if they are cool to post, so pm me if you need it.
I still havbe the psx, hack too... check this out.
Wow, I havent messed with Prassi in a long time, I cant believe I still have this stuff!
