There are no wrong/defective sectors on SD DVD media, only on CD (where this function also wouldn't make things better for Safedisc)

There is a trial version for temporary use

blindwrite is for idiots who cant work protections out

5star game copy is by far the best DVD emulator out there

As i misread something i first thought you want a burned copy; and for that purpose your program for idiots would be the only choice

I ticked skip read errors, and advance sector scanning.
When its done, download the latest daemon tools.
Mount the image.
Now in order for it to work, disable all REAL hardware optical drives via device manger (admin tools, or control panel>system) right click and go disable.

now it should work.

This is only to be used if you have Bought Original Game. and are only using it for a no-CD/DVD options, to keep the disc safe from damage.

Use your own disc to create the image, since the image would be 3.4gb.

Thanks for the above solway, worked as stated. I didn't even use Daemon Tools just mounted it in Alcohol 120% and the game loaded. Now I can play BF2142 at home and at work

Hi guys,
I haven't got this game yet (buying it on the weekend) but I'm curious as to how this method works. From what I can tell Daemon Tools doesn't work with SafeDisc 4.7 (unless I have the wrong version?). How many people have succesfully used this method?

[bushstar]

Does not work with Daemon Tools for me, I have the latest version. But it does work when I mount it in Alcohol 120.

Trick is that you need to disable all physical drives so the only drive you have is a virtual one, this seems to be key to getting this thing past Safedisk, not sure why but it seems to be well known if you look around the net. Like this link posted earlier.

I made my own image from my DVD like solwayuk said and all works well. Others have got this to work. Seems the only way forward is a full image, razors image does not work as a full image for some reason.

razors image does not work as a full image

Why are you using a warez image if you have the original DVD!!??

Like whats been said about it, it is a clone of other programs, so infact since its a clone how can it be better than its predecessors?


Anyways, since no fixed exe for your other question, I suppose you can use your amazing piece of software to burn back ups and use them, thus you original is still intact.

And yes A120% can do DVD's :P

[Alien Firefox]

im yet to see alcohol do dvds properly

anyways

where getting wayyyy of topic


plz get back on topic fellas

original topic is about making a fixed mini image so get back on that topic fellas

[TippeX]

you caused the topic shift because of your ill informed fan-boy rants about 5 star..

mini image of bf2142 is seemingly difficult, however other users have found a full image using alcohol works... (albeit the dvd version seems harder to backup), and apparently you also need anti blacklisting tools

http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/show...highlight=2142

try that thread... and you'll see that other people post that mini images simply do not work anymore.. so you're stuck with full image for the time being..

other people report that game jackal also works, however the image it produces is about 3 gig..

so i think its pretty obvious mini image = no workie...

NO I do believe you started it Alien with this post.


Blindwrite is for idiots? Cause they cant work out protections?


Why you using 5 Star? Doesnt that work out the protections for you also? Hmm?

Its you yourself that is carrying the torch by replying to say how good it is each time and defending it like mad.

[Alien Firefox]

5star is able to scan protections and copy that protection its only just off being able to run securom 7 games.

and im not defending it like mad im just saying its the best program from my point of view.

blindwrite doesnt do this as it only has one type.

5star works like alcohol does for cds

5 star == alcohol!, alcohol does not have 'protection type' settings for dvd's simply because you're expected to know to use rmps (or check the alc/dt forum)..

blindwrite has only one type as it works using ez play and topology recording

5 star is not the 'saviour' you make it out to be for securom 7 games, infact, secu 7 detects the drive from 5 star as being virtual....

and you ARE defending it like mad, even though it really seems you dont know much about whats 'under the hood' when it comes to 5 star...

you do know 5 star used to be 'gamejack' right? (not to be confused with gamejackal), and even then gamejack was a piece of shit
