Honestly, it depends on 2 factors:

A) The capabilities of your CD-drive to read/write the special tracks and sectors of DC copies, and ..

B) The type of burning software you use. I only know of one that will successfully work, and that's Cequadant's PacketCD. I've heard unconfirmed reports of another Cequadrant proggy, called WinOnCD being able to also, which doesn't seem too unrealistic as PacketCD does it.

I will be reading/learning more about this issue over the next few days to better help thos of you with similar problems. Please DO NOT email me requesting the info, I will post it as it becomes available.

yes you can, the older games are easy and seem to work with all cdr drives and just about all copying software.....the newer games got tricky, it seems there's a 4 second audio track on the front end of all the newer games that some copying software and some cdr drives can't handle. It will work if: 1) Your cdr drive must support disc at once and 2)your soft ware must offer disc at once I use ez cd creator 4.0 and burn no faster than 4xspeed. this works for me.
