As far as I remember has Mafia the protection SafeDisc. Switch Alcohol 120 % to this protection and reading errors are fully normal at the beginning.

when you say that i should switch it to the safe disk function, do i have to do that before i copy the game? or is it something that alcohol 120% disables when you want to play the game?

As first. First read it with SafeDisc 2.5 or higher and then burn it with the same config.

where do you get safe disk 2.5? is it an option that you have on alcohol 120%, if it is where is it. i can only see this "bad sectors emulation" witch only mentions safe disk and safe disk 2

There is a drop-down-menu where you can choose one of the protection profiles before starting the read-/write process. So you don't have to set any option by your own.

In this window down on the left. Maybe it says customize or so.

Click on "Copy Wizard". Choose the correct cd-drive.

Down to the left there's roll-down menu called "Datatype"

Pick "Safedisc2"

use the image burning wizard and pick the same profile.

Then tick for "skip reading errors" and "fast skip error blocks" and
"bypass EFM errors" when burning

fity-fifty joker. I think there is no great difference.

And before you ask for the speed of reading and burning. Slow increases the chance of a good copy. But that depends on your burner.

Rember that all CD-BURNERS are NOT supporting SafeDisc 2 burning and reading!

I got Mafia on DVD and I cliking "copy assistent" (in alcohol 120%) I don't get the chance to choose from different protections (I think thats because it' a DVD, right?). My Clony XXL says the game is protected with SecuRom*new but since I can only choose between "ignoring errors" (or is it skipping in english...don't know) and "Data Positioning Measurement-->Normal/High" I don't know what to do.

Is there any onther tool I could use to make a backup? How about clone cd? What settings should I use using clone cd?
Thanks in advance...mln

Thanks in advance...mln The DVD version of Mafia is protected by SecuROM 5.00.03.0002
Use Alcohol 120 (check DPM/high) or Blindwrite 5. If your drives aren't capable of reading a good DPM/topology THIS (http://copybase.ch/Cb/PHPV2/Database/EntryDetails.php?Id=3235&SoftwareCP=&SoftwareCPVersion=&SoftwareName=Mafia) may help (if version is the same)
