Mafia probs (and i have used the search button)

Hi coffin filler,

here is the answer, you are waiting for:

I had the same trouble like you !!!
The reason is: This game has a quite new Version of Safedisc (i think 2.60 or 2.70).
So you need a good READER !!!
I have a CD-R writer and a DVD-Rom.
First i read the original CD´s from my CD-R writer, but then i had the problems, that you discribed.
Then i switched to my DVD (and it took me nearly 2 hours to read each original CD), but then the backup works just fine !!

You have to use the correct parameters in CloneCD of course !!

READ
- data and audio read speed: 4x (to be sure it works)
- skip corrupt sectors: automatic
- intelligent search for corrupt sectors: yes (100)
(i use the german version , so i dont know the exact translation, but i guess you know, what i mean)

WRITE
- speed: 4x (to be sure again)
- close last session

Then you will be able to install the game.
But, it depends on your CD-R writer, you will need a nocd from GCW or maybe can play with the backup CDs.
But I prefer a nocd, because of the noise from the drive.

good luck,
juergen
