Did anyone ever wonder about Amerzone? When I first purchased it, I had no way of copying because of oversizing and unreadable errors.
I had a brainstorm to use WinRAR. First I zipped the root directory files to a directory on the hardrive, then unzipped it and removed the zip file. Next I proceeded to zip each sub-directory to the directory that I made. I noticed that during the zip process, only true data was zipped.
After unzipping each individual sub_directory, and removing the zipped files, I burned everything back to a Cd using the same disc name. The copy showed only true file size and the game would work from the copy.
Apparently this was the only game that could be copied in this way because I've tried others and they refused to work correctly.
