Unsupported Disc

Protected Disc

• SecuROM(v4.x or higher), StarForce, CD-Cops [recording density]
  => These needs DPM(Data position measurement). cue, ccd doesn't support DPM. You need to use the Alcohol 120/52% to store it,
• Alpha-ROM, ROOT, TAGES [duplicated(double, triple) sector]
  => It can read in reverse, but specifications are not decided in redump

Nintendo Wii U => This is a BD based disc, but I don't know the details.
