age of empires 2......help

[johnlynn]

help, I'm fairly new to this. Trying to make a working backup of 'age of empires 2'. Using clonecd4 took about 1 hr for 1% ??
do I need to patch it? and if so , how...?
not bothered about no cd... just want a working backup..
any help welcome..

AOE 2 has Safedisc 2.30.010 copy protection. It should be no problem with ccd 4 ?
If you do not get it to work with ccd try daemon-tools' fast dump feature or alcohol120%.

I should add that this slow copying of the first few percent is normal. Just let Clonecd continue for a few hours and it will be done. Otherwise try what Monty suggested.

@johnlynn:
Check if "Fast Error Skip" is activated in CloneCD !!!

thx 4 your help guys. all I had to do was let ccd4 run it's course.
( took a few hours, but worked fine )
patience is truly a virtue....... :-)
