Max Payne 2 Troubles....
 

Okay, here is the deal, I have Max Payne 2, but when I go to burn it (using alchohol 120%) I put the cd in (after it's burnt) and it is supossed to autorun as the normal REAL copy of the game would. Well it doesn't. This does'nt bother me, but when I go to explore the cd and run the "setup.exe" or "install.exe" it pops up with a dos promt and then the window dissapears. Weird, yes, but I continued exploring the cd and found a "demo32.exe" in the "bin" folder, I run that and it asks me to choose a "dbd" file, and there is a "mp2inst.dbd" file in that same folder. SO, I go and run that and it pops up with the Max Payne 2 windows, YAY! but when I click the "install max payne 2" button, the window goes away and nothing happens...... not so yay......

Any ideas on what is cousing this?

um ya it's broke...

Just messin with ya...actually theres a nag in disc 2 from what i've found that screws up the burn...won't image correctly either.

Don't use Alcohol 120% ether dump or burn SecuROM 4.8 versions.

Max Payne is SecuROM protected if I didn't get the wrong idea. And the only way to make a copy, but not screwing you CD up, is to copy the hole cd to a harddriver map and burn it like a normal CD. label as it label in the original. That's the only way to make a good working image.

Ruimors say that it gose to make a perfect 1:1 copy, and some internet thing showing how. I've test it all, but it don't works. But if you wanna trie, go ahead, but the information you might need, is on you own to seak and find!

Alcohol isn't very good for backing up New Securom titles..use Blindwrite with a good .bwa file and and you'll have no problem

Blindwrite isn't good ether!

But all depands on what Dump-reading machine you use (cd-reader/burner, dvd-reader/burner) and CD-Burner you use.

I can't backup new SecuROM if I use Blindwrite I can't mount the file becuase it isn't a good image. But try the hell you whant, read the backup guides or use google, or do what I told you before!
