It might be possible to reverse engineer the current safedisc 1 and 2 protections and include the code in wine. The problem is that the new version (a snapshot of it was used at the time in flashpoint) is less nice. Nowadays when you for example use a crack the game works or doesn't work. The new

When you play using an incorrect crack the game will slowly become unplayable. Like this we can be sure that the reimplemented driver is perfect or a bit buggy. Also, some people may prefer the idea of a open source safe disc driver more that the idea of loading the proprietary one.
