Sorry WardoggOne, I was trying to find my copy of Madden 06, I was going to check the copy protection and then make another copy and let you know what settings to use, BUT, I could only find discs 2 & 3.
I have literally hundreds of play discs around here but as I don't use them very often occassionally some get misplaced.
Anyway, yes thats what I meant. Just use the image making Wizzard (In Alcohol) and save the image to your hard drive.
I'm sure it's SafeDisc 4 protected so you may have to use sd4hide, actually I think even anti-blah works even though it's a securom 7 hider.
I use a combination of a few things,
Virtual CD hide,
Anti-Blah,
sd4hide,
SR7,Stop_v1.2 and
securom_7_burner load.
Just download a couple of these and try them out, as I said you'd be suprised which ones work for different protections than they were designed for. Also when you use these hiders don't leave them open when running the game. Once you activate them either close the program and the folder you have it in and if it has a icon on the task bar like Virtual CD hide then just right click on the icon and hit exit.
Once activated DON'T leave any of them running! A lot of games won't run with them open on the desktop or on the taskbar.
Anyway if you have to just make a couple of image files at different speeds and see how you go, I'm sure that I made mine using the default Safedisc 2/3 settings but I used
8x to read the image.
I hope you get it working, so good luck.
Sorry I took so long.

i should use one of those even thos it doesn't say emulation detected? it just says that cd cannot be found

What do you mean, do you get that message when you load a burnt disc or when you mount an image file.
And have you got DT4 installed, my image works in both Alcohol and DT4 but I would use DT4 if I was you and make sure all the emulation options are on, (ticked).

they are all on and nothing
