Chessmaster 8000... how to or where to?

[teknomedic]

It helps some... but I still need help.


"1. CM8K checks before "installing", that is, the installation checks the cd to make sure it's original (true 1:1 will do), if it's not, it will not install."

So.... I could use my master to install then use the copy to play the game?? I guess that's OK, but I still really want a fully working and installing copy.



"2. There are cracks available for v1.02 and v1.04."

If you (or anyone) would be so kind... where? All I can find are "no-CD" cracks. I've tried this... "unsafedisc" but either the versions I've found are too old to "fix" my copied files, or they just don't work right.



"3. CM8K will work with Daemon tools using an ISO image, etc. "

I guess I have to check into "Daemon Tools".... never used them, and do those tools make an ISO image for me... or do I have to make one, then use Daemon Tools??


Lastly, I know there are "fixes" for CloneCD that would allow me to "enable"... "Hide CD-R Media". Once again I've been looking for that, but can't find it. Any info would be great.



... I think I've been out of the "loop" for making backups far too long... it's been almost a year since I've had this much trouble making a back up.

Thanks for the info so far. It gives me some things to research.
