Fast Dump:

DAEMON Tools' "fastdump" feature is used to speed up the image creation of Safedisc 1 & 2 protected CDs and is also the first step to create a backup of a Safedisc 2 protected CD.

1. Enable safedisc emulation
2. Install the game you want to backup
3. Start the game, and wait until the safedisc check is over (you usually see a splash screen while it is safedisc checking)
4. Exit the program and do NOT remove the CD
5. Run your burning program (a list of suitable burning programs can be found here)
6. Start image creation or copying
7. You might see a list of errors for up to 20 seconds, which is normal

Command Line Switces

• -lock
  used to lock the DLL operation to be sure no unauthorized program can load daemon.dll and use its functions. Used mainly in autostart (if 'Autolock' option is enabled), but can be used in command line too. Unlocking can be done from Virtual DAEMON manager or other GUI that is currently running. Note that locking has no effect on DAEMON Manager itself or other programs which have been 'authorized' by us to use the DLL.
  
• -noicon
  this option is used to prevent DAEMON Tools from creating a taskbar icon. It has no effect if DAEMON manager is already running or you specified another command (except 'lock') in the command line! DAEMON manager automatically exits after command is executed and does not create taskbar icon.
  
• -mount
  allows mounting images from command line (or shortcut).
  Syntax is: -mount <n>,<path>
  where 'n' means DVD-ROM device number ('0' - '3' allowed) and 'path' is the full path to the image file.
  Example: daemon.exe -mount 0,"c:\My Images\nameofimage.cue".
  Do not forget to set the path in quotes if it contains spaces!
  
• -unmount
  allows unmounting images from command line.
  Syntax is: -unmount <n>
  where 'n' means DVD-ROM device number ('0' - '3' allowed)
  
• -safedisc ?
  allows turning Safedisc emulation on/off from command line.
  '-safedisc on' enables emulation, '-safedisc off' disables it
  
• -securom ?
  allows turning Securom emulation on/off from command line.
  '-securom on' enables emulation, '-securom off' disables it
  
• -laserlok ?
  allows turning Laserlock emulation on/off from command line.
  '-laserlok on' enables emulation, '-laserlok off' disables it.
  
• -rmps ?
  allows turning RMPS emulation on/off from command line.
  '-rmps on' enables emulation, '-rmps off' disables it.
