How to backup Protected Games with nero?

s100ott · #1 26-01-2002, 06:21

Can anyone tell me how to back up protected games using nero burning rom software?, because on gamesopyworld, it only tells you how to back them up with clone cd, and i cant download that because i keep getting the error message 'zip file if corrupted'

Why haven't you read any posts on this forum??

If you had, you'd see that the best way to get an answer is to post some info about your burner (make and model).

Also, ask yourself this. If most posts and articles on GCW don't mention Nero, what does that tell you about it's capability to copy protected cds??

And.......search the internet yourself. I've just done a google search for "clonecd" and got 78,200 possible entries.
I'd hazard a guess that a download site would be amongst those.

All of us here are more than willing to help, but helping yourself to begin with saves us repeating the same stuf over, and over, and over again.

Ye, but in GCW it lists alot of programs where you can back up protected games, on that link but it only tells you how to do it for cd clone. I have searched the net but i never know what to type in and i dont get many good results.

My mates cousin is real good on computers and he knows how to backup protected games using nero because he has loads. So i thought with you lot on this site being so good on computers you would be able to tell me what to do. Like do i download a patch and put it on hte game or something.

My mates cousin told him something like u need to download a certian patch and put it on the game and then u need to put these special numbers in which u can get off the net. is this true ???

Like crispy i will also give it a try. Go to www.google.com, type clonecd, one of the results you get will lead you to a download link. Then you got the program which is able to copy everything if you got the right burner (Whats the secret about ur burner ?). You can also copy CD content to HD and burn then with Nero. After installation you need to crack the game on the HD to NoCD or Backup to be able to play. U can try to put cracked files in CD content folder, then burn with the cracked file, but sometimes it won't install. For sure is, that you won't get a working 1:1 copy of a game with a protection like securom or safedisc or vob or.... if u use Nero !

U really should use Clone CD.

But if you want to Try with neros fair enough.

Hi there,
Ok, from wot u have said, I am guessing your mates cousin has done basically wot Donmega2 has said.
He has probably copied contents of cd to hard drive, then downloaded a fixed EXE file or the tools to do it himself, then burnt back to cd.
Also, ask yourself this. If your mates cousin has managed to do it, why r u asking us. Why not ask him. He will probably even show u how to do it.
Don't get me wrong, we will be glad to help.
Just be better to get a friend u know to show u rather than having alot of info thrown at u that u don't understand or too frightened to try.
Search & read the posts in this forum.
U should pick it up pretty quick.

Regards,

Einstein

cheers, right i decided to use clone cd instead. I copied a game (champions Manger 01/02) to my hard drive following then instructions on that backup link. But when i copied it to a cd it said hardware error or something. However i was using a cd-rw disk to copy it to, could thar have been a problem?

1 more thing, the instructions to follow on copying the game to disk ...
· When ready burn the CD-Image a CD-R using CloneCD with these settings:
o Set Write Speed to any desired speed
o Select RAW DAO
o Select Don't Repair SubChannel Data
o UnSelect Simulate Writing (if available)
o Select Burn Proof/Just Link (if available)
o unSelect Perform Laser Power Calibration
o unSelect Wait until Buffers are full
o Select Always close last Session

I cant see/select all of them options for eg...
THere isnt a RAW DAO, just a RAW SAO...
THere is no button to selet sub channel data (Well there is but its in grey so you cant select it)
Finally there is nothing saying... 'wait until buffers are under run'.

WHy is this? and wuld using a cd-rw disk effect copying he game to cd?

what do you mean use cracks instead? how do i use them and what are they

WOT WRITER DO U HAVE??
Sorry to shout but this is a vital bit of info if u want informative help.
Also, download a copy of CLONY from cdmediaworld site. Use the link @ top of this page. Then search for clony. Download & run. Insert cd & click scan cd button. This will give you the protection used & the correct settings for CloneCD to copy the game.
If your burner can handle the protection.

For crying out loud, s100ott!!

When you ask for help......read what we post and DO IT.

I posted an answer telling you to tell us what burner you have.
Why would I do that? It's bloody simple. Without that info, no-one can give you accurate advice to help you.

I also suggested you search this forum for info as well. You clearly haven't done that either.
I like to think of myself as one of the most helpful people here (if you don't believe me just search for any of my posts) but I cannot help you if you don't follow the advice we give.

Other than coming around to your flippin house and doing it for you.

s100ott, please take note of wot the good man Crispy is saying.
He doesn't moan for nothing.
If u listen & follow instructions, u will learn very quickly.

I don't think I have once asked for any help yet.
Why? Because I search & read. Listen & learn.

Crispy, yes u r one of the most, if not, THE MOST helpful people on this site.
Keep it up dude

Regards,

Einstein.
