How to burn the NHL 2002 CD for PC

[delta-iks]

I tried to burn directly the NHL 2002 CD for PC (with CDRwin) and it didn't worked.

I then downloaded the "NHL 2002 v1.01/ALL [1.4 MB] Fixed Executable" from this site and unzip it with winace. The only thing I got is an exe file (NHL 2002. exe). What should I do with that file now ?

I'm not sure if it's the right way to burn a "protected CD" as NHL 2002.


Could someone help me plz ?

P.S.: I got Easy CD creator basic 5 too but didn't tried it...

I believe NHL 2002 is protected with Safedisk2 and with ATIP protection as well.
Get Clone CD http://www.elby.de to copy it. (Use Fast Error Skip while reading to an image file, and use ur burner to make the image file). As your burner can't do correct EFM coding then the new feature in Clone CD 'Amplify Weak Sectors' MIGHT help. You select this when you are writing the image file to the CD. Then when playing use 'Hide CD-R Media'

The ATIP is a small section on every CD-R that holds the manufacturers name, length etc. This ATIP isn't present on pressed Cd's, so if there is ATIP present then it won't play. Another of Clone CD's new features is it's 'Hide CD-R Media'. When this is enabled, it hides that the game is burned, and so you will be able to play it. The downside being you have to have this feature running in the background.

If you don't want to do it this way and have a program running in the background for it to work, or it just doesn't work for you, you can do the following.

You could download the exe like you already have and replace the original exe with this new fixed one. If you can't get this to work for you:

You can use Unsafedisk which will get rid of the Safedisk 2 AND the ATIP check. Instructions:

1)Copy all dll's to a temp directory, along with the main exe as well.

2)Run safedisk 2 dumper on the exe. A data.bin file is created.

3)Run safedisk 2 Rebuilder on the data.bin file. This creates your new 'fixed exe'.

4)Rename the new file to exactly what the original one was.

5)To burn to a CD-R - copy the whole disk to a temp directory, replace the original exe with the new 'fixed exe'. Use Nero preferably to burn the contents of the temp directory WITH THE ORIGINAL CD LABEL. If the label on the original cd is "NHL", then your copy must have this exactly as well.
