what to start with?

[TippeX]

Spacelordmf - simple, use alcohol 120%, use the safedisc profile, make an image (read at a low speed for higher chance of a working image), burn image (it will only work if you have a compatable burner).. the programs you are using atm to burn are quite simplistic burning/copying programs that dont deal with protected disks too well

then install the game, install the patch, copy the crack over (and do what it says in the nfo file) and it should work fine
