Why is it that sometimes it's problematic to rip (don't know if that's the word, but I mean make an ISO file out of a CD) certain games? Sometimes the CD keeps "speeding up and down" but it haven't reached even 1 % of the ripping process a single time, I've tried w/ MagicISO, Alcohol (just BF1942) and CloneCD maybe I haven't waited long enough, but the games that works is much faster...

some games that this (does not :o ) happens on:
HoMM3 Armageddon's Blade
Battlefield 1942
FlatOut

can't think of anymore right now...

*edit*
just read at GCW that I am supposed to set the read speed to 1x (176 kBps) max 8x, and actually I think that is the speed that (1x) appears when I rip :) is everything like it should be then? and what if it stilll don't work?

on the games you wanna rip you put the protection they have or do you put always normal cd(alcohol 120%)?
