Thanks to @dek and PROGAME who emailed in this info that a new version of CloneCD is available.

The changes in this version

• Added Emulation of weak sectors
• Added Emulation of Digital Signatures in Subchannel Data
• With weak sector emulation and Digital Signature emulation you don't need to care about the capabilities of your reader or writer!
• Copy protections with weak sectors can be copied with any writer!
• Copy protections using subchannel data can be copied with any reader! There is no need for reading subchannel data anymore!
• Added display of weak sectors in Logbook
• Added "Protected PC Game" Emulation profile
• Majorly improved Hide CDR Media
• Added Emulation of weak sectors to Hide CDR Media
• Added Emulation of digital signature in subchannel data to Hide CDR Media
• Pop-up help no longer uses HTML Help, because it seems to be broken in Windows XP SP1 and Windows 2000 SP3
• Internet Explorer no longer needs to be installed for Pop-up help to work
• Removed "TOC Adjustment" Dialog which only confused users of TwinPeaks. CloneCD will now decide what to do automatically
• Added support for foreign codepages in Virtual CloneDrive settings in CloneCDTray
• Changed Virtual CloneDrive to cause less conflicts with broken SCSI Adapter drivers
• Fixed bug in Virtual CloneDrive which caused a conflict with Intel Application Acceleration Drivers (or other 3rd party drivers)
• Reduced Memory fragmentation in Virtual CloneDrive (Windows NT/2000/XP)
• Reduced Memory and CPU use in ElbyCDIO (Windows 2000/XP)
• Hopefully solved possible hang after operation on Windows 9X/ME
• Changed Audio profile to not read subchannel data anymore. This speeds up reading with many drives and might give better results
• Updated language files: Russian, Catalan, Czech, Greek, French, Macedonian, Norge, Polish, Turkish and others
• Added ElbyCDIO Control program to set ElbyCDIO default behaviour

The DPS specifications are expected to be adopted on mobile handsets' digital cameras in the near future, and ultimately storage vendors will be able to develop DPS-compliant products, they said.

DPS, originally developed by Canon, HP, Seiko Epson, and Sony, is written for USB connections with Picture Transfer Protocol as data transfer protocol, they said.

The standard has been designed for scalability and simplicity, using the same interface for all cameras. After a USB cable is connected between a camera and a printer, the user chooses an image on the camera's LCD monitor. By simply pressing a button on the camera, a printer responds and prints out the image. Advanced functions contained in higher-end cameras can be operated by an extended user interface, Sakurada said.
