Red Alert 2: How do you backup this game?
 

Could someone give me some advice on how to backup my 'Red Alert 2'? (Allied & Soviet, 2 CD's)

I recently purchased Nero 5.5, Disc Juggler, & CloneCd, but do not how to use the functions. I have a Yamaha 20X's burner.

Thank you all,
Paul

OK, first of all get a copy of UnSafeDisk 2 (it's free, jus have a look around GameCopyWorld for a link)

Copy the contents of the CD (by the way jus do exactly the same for both CD's) to a temp directory.
Now ya wanna use UnSafeDisk to unwrap the exe. Here's how:

Gather all the dll's you can find on the CD (easiest way is to use the Find facilty in Windows and type in *.dll to find all the dll's
Please note, I found some extra dll's in the folder I installed the game to which weren't on the CD, so jus gather all these up as well.

Put all the dll's in a folder and put the main exe into the same folder (also note, the setup file is also SafeDisk 2 protected and needs to be unwrapped too - it's hidden away in the setup folder of the CD)
Now use UnSafeDisk 2 to unwrap the two files.

Replace the original files in the temp dir, with the new "cracked" ones and burn the dir to a CD.

Slightly complicated, but works all the time.

Or simply use your Burner alone for the image creation and dump with CloneCD...Fast error skip, 3 retries, none....burn to a CD/R. If you have a problem after that use BetaBlocker and dump the image in it, execute it then transfer it to CD/R. Check out www.cdrinfo.com

Good Luck it is an easy game to use and used the early versions of SD2.
