big files

[pinobel]

Sorry for my bad english. I have some CD'-games witch I can't copy. ClonyXXL says there's no protection, but when I try to burn it stops. When I look there is a very big file (almost 1 gb) on the original Cd and that's why it can't be copied. There are several games with this problem. Anyone has a solution?

they are called dummy files.... use clonecd to read an image from the cd to the hd, then burn them from the image to a cdr

Those are dummy files. Have you tried CloneCD ? You could also copy all files to the hard disk except those impossible big ones and make a new cd of those files om hard disk in Nero. Don't forget the volume label. Try it on a cdrw first so you don't waste any cdr's. If the game still asks for the original cd, it means that the game is checking for the presence of those big files. You then need to have files with the same name on the same place on the cd, but the size can be much much smaller. So you can make files with 0 bytes size and that should work too. CloneCD should be able to copy them perfectly, have you tried the latest version ?
