View Full Version : Nero 5 Help On How To Burn Pc Cd-rom Games (please)
:confused:im having trouble with nero 5 i don't know how to burn pc-games or data CD's i know how to do Audio CD's i just got Nero 5 with the burner HELP:eek:
Oh Yeah my make and model is Cyber Drive Internal CD-R & CD-RW 16x write 12x Rewrite 40x Read
i would recommedn ClonecD for you, i think it is easier to use.
Clone CD are you joking i downloaded that a while ago its plain sh*t it stuffed 3 cd-r's!!!!!
you probably don't know how to use it. Most people use it here with great succes. Get clonyXXl. it will tell you what protects a cd and then you know settigns to use in nero if you know your protections
ok iam getting clonyXXl i do know how to use Clone CD i clicked on on the thing that shows 2 cds one silver one gold but it said failed burn and our burner is installed!! it said 1x writer found~!:rolleyes:
YOur burnere is probably not supported by clonecd. go to their website and see if it is supported

I just checked. His burner is listed there.
Isn't it fun when you can answer all questions with "Aww, CloneCD is great, your burner is probably just not supported. Screw you."?
Seriously, though, CloneCD does have a tendency to malfunction for reasons unknown. I, for example, can't get it to write anything. What's funny, it won't even do coasters - it crashes before it begins to write. It has some problems with my recorder.
It reads fine, though. Is there some other program that can write CloneCD image files? Alternatively, can CloneCD create images in the formats Nero can write (NRG,ISO,CUE)?
To mpborgy:
First, remember that CloneCD is only for cloning CDs. If you want to create your own custom CDs, use Nero.
Also, Nero will read and write the majority of not-so-new games just fine. It's the newest protections that sometimes it cannot read, while CloneCD can. I wonder if hardware can somehow affect Nero's protection-cracking abilities...
To copy CDs with Nero, you use the CD-Copy function, and it will create an exact duplicate of the CD, no matter what type it is. If the CD is protected, you may need a cracked EXE even if the burn is successful.
To create your own CDs, use the New Compilation function. There you can select between data, audio, video or mixed modes.
I did i say screw him? I think not. I wasn't sure whether his burner was compatible, also because of such a strange malfunction. HEY i was only trying to help! and also i never said Clonecd was better that anything else, i just said that most people use it with great succes and that his problem isn't a reason to assume that it is crap.

heym8 packer is right,and if you can't use clone cd it's your problem...i am using it with great succes and i know many many other people from here do too....the first thing that gets to my mind i a post a read somewhere telling that not legaly owned clone cd programs will not work properly(the same thing wi cdrwin).......
thank you Shang Tsung i tried copying it good just i can't burn copyrighted CD at last someone who talks sense like Shang Tsung and give the right info!!! but i would also like to know who else has a CD program that can ignore copyright other than crap Clone CD!
you may want to give BlindWrite Suite a try!

packer, I didn't mean bashing you. I know you were trying to help. The "Screw you" was just for emphasis.
The thing is that when "your burner is not compatible" becomes a frequent excuse to problems, it means that something isn't too good with the program.
Most people do use it with success, but mpborgy is not the only one who has this problem. I have it two, and I am sure that there are more of us unlucky guys.
I don't say CloneCD is crap, I say that it is problematic.

Yes, it is my problem. I don't expect you to solve it for me. I'm not angry at you at all guys, don't get me wrong. Perhaps I'm just bitter, cause I happen to be one of the unlucky guys.
Don't give me that bull about legal copies, though. Don't expect me to believe that everyone on this forum uses a legally bought copy of CloneCD, just like no one honestly believes that we are all burning games for backup purposes. Someone cracked CloneCD and it didn't work, so he spread this rumour, and now it's being used as a simple way to wash hands clean, i.e. "You didn't legally buy CloneCD, screw you."

Yes, Eagle gave you a good link.
According to GCW, these are the most suggested proggies for protection cracking:
CloneCD (doesn't work for you, real solution may not exist)
Nero (fails at protected CDs, as you said)
Blindwrite
CDRWin
DiscJuggler
Try the other three.
I'm not sure with the links, but you can find them at www.GameCopyWorld.com
well that is cleared!
so lets sit back and relax and help!:D

get the cloner. it will scan the cd and set its settings properly.
note, this is not an endorsement for cloner. it is merely something that does not require someone who understands copy protections sitting next to it. not a diss, but if you are using nero to burn an pc game, you are wrong.

i think you mean clony xl,right?
Some people do use legal copies of ClondCD
I have been using clonecd for about 2 or 3 years now. When I first got it, it would only write at 1x untill you bought a copy.
The cracks back then were editing your reg. sys a hasstle for me so I bought a copy for about 40.00 I think?
I have not had 1 problem with clonecd untill the new safedisk came out! I then bought a Lite- on 24x and I still have no problems!!
I also have keygens for clonecd that have also worked for friends.
If you got a bad crack or keygen, its your fault for not researching better!
IF YOU CANNOT USE CLONECD YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HARDWARE OR YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TO USE IT!!!!!!!

Searching, not researching.

Correction: CloneCD has a problem with hardware, not me.
hardware is not always the fauilt, clonecd maybe the problem but is quite rare

this seems rude-ish to most, but if your writer is not compatible with clone cd, isnt it time to trade that 2x thing in for a new one? i know it was top of the line when u bought it, but times are a changing.

That's a 4x, and that's true, and I do intend to upgrade it.
My point is that I shouldn't be forced to do so by a piece of software. It's compatible with anything else.
it is your all opionnon nated

Why is it that recently every1 wants to attack everyone on this forum usually when they're just helping them out. Take a look at a few other threads and you'll see what I mean.
Just for example, Shang Tsung going on about searching and researching - you shouldn't rush into silly criticisms like that - you mentioned earlier "mpborgy is not the only one who has this problem. I have it two,". (instead of too)
And worrying out crap things like dis are just pointless. Most people here are trying to help others - but some people are just not willing to have their opinions changed on some issues, even when they are obviously wrong - such as many debates on people saying they made a perfect copy by using a fixed exe (which isn't perfect by the way).
Sometimes listening to and taking advice from these people can actually help you - amazing!
...What was this thread originally about again - I don't remember - not to worry :confused:

Sheesh. You take my funny comment on "searching" and "researching" as a personal attack against kcodd?
I know that I don't type perfect and that my english isn't perfect either, and never will be. That's not the point.
The point I wanted and still want to stress is that it's very cool when people try help each other out, but no one should expect a perfect solution to his problems. Also, I don't like the attitude which I sometimes see here about CloneCD, which everyone seems to worship.
I've heard many great things about CloneCD's ability to crack hard protections, and maybe I'd be able to appreciate it myself if the damn thing worked on my computer.
BTW, I will try reinstalling it again when I have time and will. Maybe indeed I found a bad crack and need to "research" better. And no, I won't buy it.
What I don't like is whenever someone comes with a problem with CloneCD the only reply he's likely to get is "CloneCD is great. CloneCD is God. Worship it. If you can't get it to work, you are either stupid or your hardware sucks. We are all using it with great success. Adjust yourself to it or die."
That isn't helping. Like I said before, one cannot expect everyone else to solve his problems. But if you can't really help, say it. No one will be pissed at you, and no one has the right to.

If you were only having a laff with kcodd - then im sorry for snarlin :( - i'm really just having a go at some of the other ppl in some of the other threads i've been posting in. Gets on me nerves a bit. :D
With regards to CCD - there has never really been ne big competition against CCD that's why it is seen to be so good at what it does. It gets the job dun for most ppl here - but maybe in your case it's just not happening for you and you are welcome to try such things as Blindwrite (I'd say it's the closest yet)

i think there are two big reasons everyone in clonecd centered. the first is the interface. its simple as all hell. get lost with 4 buttons? good luck!
the other big reason is that olli constantly updates it. its not one of those 'we released this, lets sit on our ass for 3 years' products. the lack of competition helps, but there would be more competition if people were willing to pay for these products, rather than searching and researching the web for a 'good' crack as opposed to the bad ones that shang finds :)
i love to help people on here, i really do, but there are probably 50-100 mohaa posts on the gropu that are already archived. 2-3 new ones every day. hell, sim's questions have started to come up as well. i may be old fashioned for a college age kid, but if these newb's dont wanna help themselves, i have no qualms about flaming them.

The lack of competition does help. If the guys at Ahead decided to implement powerful protection cracking mechanisms in Nero, Elaborate Bytes would be out of business in two weeks.

its not protection cracking. it just writes what is there.
mpborgv, you wrote:

Most writers DO try to ignore the copy protection, the ones that dont ignore write the copy protection back to the disk. ie, clonecd does this. now we have a perfect 1:1 copy! We want the program to write the protection.
Hope this helps
KC.......
I would like to clear this up:
If you cannot use clonecd, it is a problem with the user not the program! and Im not saying this to start a flame war.
I have had about 5 writers and countless readers, and as long as the hardware was capatible I have had no probs.
Now the new safedisk2 was another story, but a lite-on solved that prob!
