Well SVP it all depends,if you have a game that has been cloned then it will not copy on nero (the copy protection will cut in and you will have a GOOD coaster) you will have to use clone,clone is by far the best software to use to make working backups of your games it makes an exact 1 to 1 copy of just about any game on the market providing you use the correct setting a cloned games can also be patched , if the game has been patched then i don`t see why not but i would reccomend using CDRWin it is much better than Nero for games and you use this to patch games.Hope this is of help...........................

SVP - to re-word the above for clarity: If the backup you are trying to copy HAD TO BE MADE BY CLONECD because it needed 1:1 copy of protection tracks/sectors, then Nero won't make a playable copy. You would then need to find the right patch for the game concerned and use CDRWin/PPF-O-MATIC, or, if your burner is RAW-DAO+96 compatible, copy the backup with CloneCD.

If the copy was first made with Nero or CDRWin, then a Nero copy will be fine. And yes, the advice given from the crack_of_his_arse about CDRWin was correct.
