Red Faction. "no way to...."
 

Red Faction is really a tricky one. Noway to make working backup out of it (with my HW). Ive tried everything and believe me or not but never before I needed help for dumbing a cd (3 years upndown with GCW). Im outnumbered.

There seems to be one dump file and some modification of safedisc v2 (?). The fun part begins at 79% with CloneCD and mr.Winles blinks BS to my face and crashes. This was the result when dumbing it with my Plextor 2410W (EMF comf.).

"Failed to read Sector 280000" (-> ...X sectors). I dumbed this one 3 hours but then got bored and cancelled. I used my Pioneer DVD105S that time.

Track 1: Data Mode 1, Size: 799542 kBytes
Track 2: Audio, Size: 2200 kBytes
Track 3: Data Mode 1, Size: 2696 kBytes

The file Cd.idx is protected somehow (ca. 700mb) and it cannot be copied to hd.

I have tried almoust every compinations of options that CloneCD can provide but nothing matches.
Even installed CloneXL (lameme;) and it names this protection as "ProtectCD-VOB".


|Any ideas =?=|

I used Blindwrite v1.103 (Was testing this software) on a Teac CD-W54E burner

worked fine, had more trouble with max payne and had to use clonecd.

Use clonecd with the followig
read subchannel from data tracks
read subchannel from audio tracks
rapid error skip
intelligent bad sector scanner
you should have a perfect copy.
used sony crx-140e worked perfectly

That is brilliant, i have a CRX-140E too. I wil try it out.

Perfect backup of Red Faction.

try using nero works for me.go to game copy hints to show u what settings to use ..

Sorry. My fault.. After I upgraded firmware to 1.02 (px2410a) all safedisc v2 protected games have worked 100%. I did not try that before because with px16 firmware upgrade was a poor choice...

And you just CAN't make perfect copy with Nero.. it was probably already cracked version

Plextor 2410A and CloneCD is unbeatable compination ...for now ;)

i tried using Blindwrite to burn it & it didn`t work. i got errors when it was trying to install. thing was i didn`t get any read errors when i was burning
