unleashed backup copy for playing
 

yes it can be, lots of ppl have already done it, myself included...

used discdump (safedisc setting, 8x read, LG GCE-8400B) to create an image, burnt back with Nero 5.5.9.0 (DOA/96, 8x)

worked in dvd reader, haven't tried it in the burner yet, gonna try it tonight just to see what happens.

I must not understand something then. I downloaded some programs and tried to follow them with no luck.
I have clonecd and 2 cdrw drives one is internal the other is external.
I think I must be simply not grasping all of this since I am new at this but wanted to try when the game pulled that nonsense on me. I have working cipies of the rest of our sims versions

what are the brand and model of the burners u have?
try using the programs i mentioned as well
get discdump and it's frontend from the cd reading utilities at cdmediaworld.com

the internal drive is a lite-on ltr-24102b and the outboard one is a phillips pcrw404 both are supported by clonecd.
I will get the program and try that once I understand how to use it.
I appreciate all the help here on this forum

I found ddump and trust this is the program I was to get and use with the settings stated earlier.
Thanks

now it says my aspi is way outdated and I went to the site it said to and they are offline for a while while restructuring

try neros or roxios software to download those

I'm having the same problem... trying to find a place to get an ASPI update that will make DDump happy. Tried Roxio and Nero and even Microsoft...

Doesn't work when copied with BlindRead and Insektors.

Please help... :)

found it on cnet to download I hope that is the right one it is the same release ending in 14

What did you find...?

Anyway, let me know if you make any headway. :D

Downloaded ddumo, then nero when I use d dump it says layers way out of date. WHen I use nero it gets read errors all the time so nothing copies either.
I guess this must be way beyond my grsp

make sure your ddump version is 1.10
your frontend is 1.4a3
your aspi is 4.6
and your nero is 5.5.9.0

if anything is newer versions then it doens't matter

these exact versions is what i have used

These 2 I have no idea what you are even talking about
your frontend is 1.4a3
your aspi is 4.6

The others I have now and can not find any place to aspi either

ok then

u have to have aspi layer installed for ddump to work correctly
the frontend is a windows program to make ddump much easier to use - u don't need it but it's beats using the dos commands

u can get the front end here http://www.cdmediaworld.com/cgi-bin/...Frontend_v14a3!zip

get the lastest aspi driver (4.71) from here http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/sup...=aspi_v471.exe

there u go, now u should have everything u need

if it still doesn't work then chances r it's your burner
