MOHAA Plextor 40x12x40
 

I've tried this several times and made a few coasters,but I'm finally satisfied with the job that my Plextor 40x12x40 has done.
Or until something better comes along.
First thing I did was go to Plextor and update the firmware to 1.01
Then I made my image using Clone CD v 3.3.4.1
Read speed: 4x
Fast error skip on (read retries3/error correction none

Then I wrote to a CDR Memorex 700MB 80 min.
write speed 4x
AWS on
RAW DAO
Burnproof
Close last session.
** I did NOT use Betablocker on the image**
I also did NOT change the image at all,it is the same as my original.
The only thing I'm disatisfied with is the fact that I need to (In Clone CD) activate the "Hide CDR Media" function and to do that. I needed to make some changes in my regional settings to do this. This is not in my belief a true 1:1 backup copy because I don't need CloneCD to play my originals,but like I said before it'll do for now.
This is just for anyone wanting to know whether or not to buy the Plextor 40x12x40 or not.

I've got the Plextor 40x12x40 too and got the same results using CloneCD. However when I did a backup with CD Mate using their SafeDisk2 wizard option, I'm now able to use the backup in my Plextor WITHOUT the "Hide CDR Media" option turned on.

Thank-you I'll give that a try.

Good news for you and everyone else. Clone CD 4 Beta is out now, and the Plextors are reported to copy 2.51. Plus it's now easier to use for novices.

Thank-you for telling me that ! I wanna give it a try!

I have given it 3 tries today and I have not been able to make a perfect copy yet while using Clone cd 4
Same result as before I still need to enable "hide CDR Media"
as for my other computer these same CD's give me a invalid page fault and wont work at all(only to install).
I might not be using the right settings ,but I'm pretty convinced that'll I'll not be able to produce 1:1 copies of this protection.
I'll keep reading to see if anyone else has success,and try their settings. So far that's been real helpful to me.

Same problem with px 2410a and firmware 1.02. It seems that by now is impossible to perfect-back up a game protected with this cd-r and this protection.Ollie reported succeed when trying with MOHAA but we didn't succeed at all.As i have seen with px 40x ....someone reported succeed when trying serious sam 2 and blindwrite 1.2.5..

Just give it a chance!

By now plextor 24x still waiting....

Good luck!

LOL@i still have to use hide cd-r media. i suggest you search this forum or visit www.cdfreak.com to find out why exactly you need that enabled ;)


or you could play in a non-burner w/hide cd-r media turned off, and be amazed

I think you meant CD Freaks yea? You forgot the 's'

yayaya, hopefully he woulda found it neways
