anyways to prove the point

i did a backup copy of quake 4 with rtms on and it didnt work (with alcohol)

then i erased the disk and made a backup copy of quake 4 again with (5star) on that same dvd-rw disk

and with emulation it works perfectly.

the alcohol backup i also tried emulating with 5star and it didnt work.

clearly 5star is much better for making backup dvd's

though alcohol is better for using images

You answered yourself there, Alcohol tries to backup the entire disc, 5star does the same, but uses software emulation so you see it doesnt backup the game 100%.

Try your backup without 5star, does it work? course not.

All 5star is, is A120% and DT and VirtualCD(or similar) rolled into one, that is all.


EDIT: I see TippeX answered that already :P
