NFSU Copying problems

[Foges]

when i try to burn nfsu cd1 everything works fine. i dont get one error message. when i burn cd2 i get a ton of error messages then when i try to instal it cd1 works fine, but cd2 gets an error that some file is missing. what am i doing wrong? i am using alcohol 120 and i turned the safedisc 2 thing on.

Up to ~12000 bad sectors on SD2 protected CD are normal !!!

[Foges]

what do i do though if i want to burn a working copy

[GLH]

NFSU is protected with Safedisc2.
To make a working 1:1 clone copy, that works like the original without using a crack), you need a cd burner able to do correct efm encoding.

Please look in the sticky posts. There is a link to list of burners able to do that. If your reader can do this, just start Alcohol 120%, choose Safedisc 2/3 profile and start creating an image file. Then burn it with Alcohol 120% and the Safedisc 2/3 profile.

so if i got a new cd burner i would be able to burn a copy that i would be able to use. because right now i cant play it with my copied cd.

[Foges]

ok i am buying a cd burner tomorow then. anyone to recomend from the big list ?

[GLH]

I would prefer a LiteOn !!!

[Foges]

yeah i heared they are the best

[GLH]

All these will be an excellent choise, because they are "2-Sheep-Burners" (able to do correct EFM encoding).

Lite-On LTR-52327S ATAPI/IDE
Lite-On LTR-48125W ATAPI/IDE
Lite-On LTR-40125S ATAPI/IDE
Lite-On LTR-32123S ATAPI/IDE
Lite-On LTR-24103S ATAPI/IDE
Lite-On LTR-24102B ATAPI/IDE
Lite-On LTR-16102B ATAPI/IDE
Lite-On LTR-12102B ATAPI/IDE

If you have "a littlebit" more money for a new drive you can choose this DVD-Multi-Burner (DVD+R/RW & DVD-R/RW)

Lite-On LDW-411S ATAPI/IDE - DVD Combo
(burn DVD+R/RW + DVD-R 4x & DVD-RW 2x & CD-R 40x & CD-RW 24x)

Its also able to do correct EFM encoding.

There is also a Lite-On LDW-811S ATAPI/IDE - DVD Combo, but its the same as the 411S, only DVD+R will be burned with 8x.


PS: When you ask yourself "Why he praise all the Lite-Ons?" No, I don't get any money from Lite-On !!! lol

[Foges]

thanx, i will check them out and see if the store has any of them. i am not buying a dvd combo burner though, cause i got one for christmas. but it doesnt seemt to do the job for burning games. only for writing normal data discs audio cd's and dvd's. :(

[Foges]

okay, so i just bought a cd burner (lite on - LTR - 52327S)

in the sticky thing it says that it has 2 EFM coding things. the thing is. i started alcohol. and then opened the file that alcohol had copied to my HD. then i click burn. and when it is finished burning i put it into my drive and start NFSU it still says, put a valid cd in a drive. what am i doing wrong. could it be that the drive i used to copy the nfsu disk from my computer to the comp isnt good enough?

Read the CD with your new burner to a image file. Use Alcohol 120% and it Safedisc2/3 profile for that. After creating the image burn it with Alcohol 120% and the Safedisc2/3 profile!

[Foges]

thanx ill try

[Foges]

ok i tried it. there is still the same problem though. it says please edject the cd and place it in again. there must be something wrong with the copies. i tried using two different cd brands, sony and an other one called sunburst or something. what am i doing wrong?

[dufus136]

i tried backing up my copy using alcohol the exact same way and got the exact same results using imation and tdk 48x media.

i also tried the latest version of clone cd and nero and still get the same results.
i even set the read speed to minimum.
i got errors up to 10232 but people say thats normal.
im using liteon 24102b with latest firmware and no programs running while burning.
hope these guys can help us! :(

[dufus136]

BUMP! :mad:

[GLH]

Do you both use the backup cd in your CD-Burner to play?
If yes, so enable the "Hide CD-R Media" Option in Alcohol120% or CloneCDTray.

I don't know another reason for the problems with the backups....
:confused: :confused: :confused:

[dufus136]

well. i want to use the backup to play but when i do it says reinsert the disk, so im still using my original to play.

yes i did tec the settings u described but to no avail. have you or anyone here made an ecact 1/1 copy of this game?
if so please gimme a quick step by step of ur settings cause im not too bright obviously. :eek:

[dufus136]

in case it helps, my original cd is in mint condition, not a single blemish. i dont know what else to try.
thx.

[IvanDoomer]

wait...! "Alcohol 120%" don't resolve this problem?

[]'s

[dufus136]

nope not for me :(

i dont really understand it. ive tic'd the right settings and all plus i burned at the slowest possible speed. i also have a qualified burner.
