Alcohol 120, CloneCD, or BlindWrite.. whats the best?

[Grumpy]

I use both Alcohol 120 and Clone CD. I use alcohol 120 for everything except Securom games! Clone CD in my opinion does a better job of Securom! When backing up a Securom game using CloneCD just choose the 'Game Protected CD' setting and you will have no problems with the backup! You will still need to use a NoCD crack to play the game but you wont have to bother with the DPM measurements!

whats DMP measurements? I like clonecd because I just create a profile in cc with both subchannel turned on, it burns everything so far except games by EA. will alchol backup EA games?

It works for me.

I've never had a problem backing up anything with clonecd including EA games.

well, that's because u pretty much know what u're doing
from what i have read, cloneCD does all the things alcohol does, plus it can make the perfect images (true CCD), but i like Alcohol 120 better.... the GUI is kinda sweet, and it has a cool name

Then it isnt a real copy, you may as well just use Nero and make a data disc if your gonna use a nocd patch anyway. You could use Alcohol and make a standard data disc if your just gonna use nocd crack.

The way I see it, the whole point of me purchasing Alcohol was so I could make a 1:1 backup of my game without having to bother downloading cracks/patches in order to play using it.

When Alcohol is unable to create a 1:1, I dont see the point in then using CloneCD to create another image that isnt a 1:1 and use a no-cd. You may as well use Alcohol to create the flawed image and use a nocd.
