Copying the C&C Renegade
 

Please help me, how do i properly backup C&C Renegade? I have a Plextor CDRW 8/20, Yamaha CDRW 20/10/40, Sony 52x, Toshiba DVD 16x... which drives would best defeat the Safedisc 2? Is there a way to copy the disc's faster than 1x? Blindread would take 3hrs to extract a bin to my P4... any suggestions? Thanks!

this might work
 

make a copy and add a nocd patch to the compilation of the cd

Thanks! will follow the link you provided, but what I really wanted was to make a backup including the crack so I don't lose it. Tried ISOBuster to make a bin but none of my drives could read past the protection. :(

the best way ive found to backup ur copy of a game is to take the volume name from the cd make a folder on ur hard drive copy the contents of the cd to it add a folder called crack put the crack in it and burn using the volume label of the folder that works and its easier to make another backup of the backup no need to mess about with clone or blind write progs this is ment for someone who backs up a few of there games its easy and simple and u can like me burn them in 3 minutes at full speed instead of 1x

Make an image with CLonecd adn use the latest betablocker...


but i think your plex 8X should do it( perfect 1:1copy) if i am not mistaken....look at the compatible burners list in one of the forums
, i think it is the cdrw/dvd hardware one i think.

also get clonyXXl and that will tell you what protection a prog uses and also what settings to use in cloinecd

Solution
 

i hate using softwares for making a 1:1 image...
all i do is copy the entire cd to the HD then create a data cd using ezcd creator - it works! i never had a bad cd... and u can change the image too (put cracks, updates)!

Thanks guys! But, the problem with copying the whole disc to the drive and making a copy doesn't work. I've tried that too, the autorun app will prompt you to insert the original disc, so installation will not progress. I'll try using my Plextor CDRW again. Do you think the Plextor SCSI CD-Rom is a good drive for backing up cd's? I've got one in the closet gathering dust (its a little slow 42x or something forgot)!

it sounds like a game i has once one of the files has a lock on it so it stops installin when copied the only thing to do if thats the case is to crack the file thats stopping the copying i think safedisk do that

Ok, here is the update... used clonecd using the yamaha, created an image file, next i used betablocker (latest) to unprotect the 1st disc. Tested it using daemon tools and it mounted correctly. Now I fired up CDRWin (latest) to add crack folder, this freaking program screws up my .IMG file! :mad:

My question now is... what do i use to add a folder to a exsisting .iso, .img or .bin file, since cdrwin corrupts these types??? Any suggestions? Thanks guys I really... really appreciate your help on this endeavour!

@war3zuk, you are right, the setup exe. is also protected with the latest safedisc.....

lol same here
 

just copied it and the same thing happens u need to get rid of the protection on the setup in order to back it up and if anyone does this let me no cos im crap at hacking anything hence im a gamecopyworld freek all u do is point and click lol

are you looking for the crackled setup exe?

yes wouldnt mind lol
 

being of simple mind and body it would help oh and for the record this should make ppl laugh i decided to extract all the files from the cabs and built the game up in a folder called renagade lol it loads up and gets to the first loading screen then crashes lol and thats with no knowledge of cracking lol so someone must be able to crack the setup.exe anyway again any help is wickedly thanked lol
