The fools proof way to make backups

Hello??????? people..............??? All you ever need to do is view all files in win explorer. Then copy them to a folder on your HDD. Then select all the files from that folder and burn to cd. You will need the no cd patch though on most safedisk2 games, but you will have all you need to do the installation at least. Subchannel data!! ha! Who gives a rat's ass?

Of course you realize, with many newer games it will be extra trouble to update with patches with your method. Also, your 'fool-proof' way doesn't account for the fact that there could be dummy files on the disc, making the files seem much larger than 650 or 700 MBs, again making it harder than it should be to back up.

Simplest and best method: Get a good burner and use CloneCD.
