Fifa 2002 is protected with Safedisk2 and with ATIP protection as well.
If you have a writer capable of 'correct EFM c####g' (can handle Safedisk 2), then use Clone CD ####://www.elby.de to copy it. (Use Fast Error Skip while reading to an image file, and use ur burner to make the image file).
If your burner can't do correct EFM c####g then the new feature in Clone CD 'Amplify Weak Sectors' MIGHT help. You select this when you are writing the image file to the CD.

Both of these ways WON'T get rid of the ATIP protection. The ATIP is a small section on every CD-R that holds the manufacturers name, length etc. This ATIP isn't present on pressed Cd's, so if there is ATIP present then it won't play. Another of Clone CD's new features is it's 'Hide CD-R Media'. When this is enabled, it hides that the game is burned, and so you will be able to play it. The downside being you have to have this feature running in the background.


The other option you have is to use Unsafedisk which will get rid of the Safedisk 2 AND the ATIP check. Instructions:

1)Copy all dll's to a temp directory, along with the main exe as well.

2)Run safedisk 2 dumper on the exe. A data.bin file is created.

3)Run safedisk 2 Rebuilder on the data.bin file. This creates your new 'fixed exe'.

4)Rename the new file to exactly what the original one was.

5)To burn to a CD-R - copy the whole disk to a temp directory, replace the original exe with the new 'fixed exe'. Use Nero preferably to burn the contents of the temp directory WITH THE ORIGINAL CD LABEL. If the label on the original cd is "Fifa_2002", then your copy must have this exactly as well.


Hope I've answered any questions, these are really the only options there is.
BTW - by using Unsafedisk on the exe, the file size changes. During installation this will be noticed and an error messege will pop up - just click ignore to continue and you won't be bothered by it again.
