I'm not a "newbie" but I am still learning. As such I would like someone to help me use beta blocker. I have it downloaded but am not sure how to proceed. Do I literally drop the image file into the beta blocker program? Also what does the program do to overcome disk protection. Thanks Watty

Yes just drop the IMG in scan and patch.. It is only for SafeDisc2 games. What it does is modify the so called weak sectors of SD2, so that they are written correctly by writters that can't write them correctly on their own.
