Protected Disc Tests

- Reading Tests

To create the image of the various protected titles to the hard disk, we used Alcohol 120% software and the appropriate settings, according to the protection type of the inserted discs. Below you can see the duration of each process as well as the transfer rate in each case.

Game Title
Protection Scheme
Duration
Reading speed
PSX "NBA Jam Extreme"
Lybcrypt
1:01 min
1481 sectors/sec
Serious Sam The Second Encounter v1.07
SafeDisc v.2.60.052
5:02 min
1111 sectors/sec
VRally II
SecuROM v.2
2:33 min
2247 sectors/sec

The performance for the LG GSA-4163B is similar, if not the same, with this of the LG GSA-4160B model.

The LG had fast performance with all the protections we tried. With PSX and SecuROM protections, the drive was the fastest, while in the case of the Safedisc protection scheme, it displayed performance that was better than most drives, simply here, the Plextor drive has such a good tradition.

- Writing Tests

The drive supports the DAO-RAW writing mode. For checking the drive's EFM correction status, we used 5 different game titles with different SafeDisc 2 versions having the latest software patches installed. After copying the images of the various titles onto the hard disk, we burned them (maximum speed) with Alcohol 120% v1.9.2.1705. Two different discs were created for each title; one with the "Bypass EFM error" enabled and one more with the function disabled.

  • Fifa 2004 - Safe Disc v3.1x
  • The Sims Superstar - Safe Disc v2.9x
  • The Sims Unleashed - Safe Disc v2.8x
  • Serious Sam Second Encounter - Safe Disc v2.51.021
  • Max Payne - Safe Disc v2.51.020

The table below shows the results of the attempted backups and whether they worked (game installed / played normally), or not.

LG GSA-4163B

The LG GSA-4163B can backup accurately only up to SD v2.8, while it fails to backup our SD2.9 protected game title, which is typical performance.
