Thank you for that information Darren! I have a disk that refuses to 
copy a specific sector to the SDC and thus don't work at all, but in the 
original disk it works just fine. I'll try to use this "Defeater" to see 
it solves the issue.
The protected game is one that is not on the Color Archive yet, it's 
called "Dragon Blade"
