Aliens v's Predator 2
 

Hi all, I'm a total noob to the scene and having recently had a wireless network installed I'd like to play Aliens v's Predator 2 on the LAN.... I've done a little bit of research into how to do this and it appears I need to have a backup of disc 1 to play it on LAN. I bought the originals so it's legal to back up disc 1 and use that in one of my pc's with the original being used in the other isn't it? :confused:

I've already backed disc 1 onto the HD and scanned it to find out what protection it has (which IIRC is SecureROM2) but this is where I come unstuck.... I have Nero 6 burning ROM software to burn the backup onto CD-R but I assume I need to remove the protection first? If this is the case what do I have to use in order to do this, or is there a far simpler solution I've overlooked?

Thanks in advance :)

I dont think what you are asking is entirely legal! Even though you are allowed to backup your original discs you can still only install it onto one machine at a time! The EULA says something about this. You really need 2 purchased copies of the same game! sorry. :)

yeah grumpy is right we cant help u with that here.

Ah.....I see! :(

I was hopeing that because I'd already bought the original I could back it up and as long as it was used by myself and not passed on/sold to anyone it might be ok....but if that's the case then that's the case... :(

Worth asking about though.... Thanks! :)

Apart from what you might have been suggesting, you can still backup the CDs for your own personal use using Alcohol 120% (_http://www.alcohol-soft.com) and simply selecting the copy protection from the list given within the program ;)
