Depends on the protection used (if any) for the game and your hardware.

Ok, I believe that drive supports both the reading and writting of subchannel data, so no you will not need to use any cracks on securom games. However newer securom games have an ATIP check, so the copies won't run in a CDRW drive without something like Clone CD's hide CDR function.
