Has anyone had trouble with BTC cdrw drives and copying safedisc protected games?

[daves_22]

Well Genius, If you look at my other posts, I have tried all these other suggestions. I was simply asking if anyone else has had trouble with the BTC cdrw's, as this may appear to be a tracking misalignment of the laser on my drive. I cannot patch the game and get it to work either.
My question was one that would give me some idea as to whether this is an alignment problem or a problem with the hardware as a whole, not being able to make a copy.

The cd isnt scratched or defective, as it runs fine on it's own in either the cdrom drives(afreey, digitalresearch) and in both of the cdrws(sony, digitalresearch a.k.a. BTC).
One would conclude that if the cd was defective/scratched, etc., wouldnt you think that it would have problems playing in the first place, GENIUS.....

So have you tried the poloroid or BTC cdrw's to try to make a 1:1
cd copy of a safedisc protected cd, for example, gp3?

Next time when you assume that someone is having major problems doing something that maybe you have no problems doing, then it might just be defective hardware, defective software, computer hardware setup errors/incompatibilities, user inexperience, or limitation of hardware.......
I am an electrical engineer who had no problems making cd's before. As I now have different equipment than when I was burning, it could be hardware setup, compatibility issues, or limitation of hardware, but none of the possibilities are due to stupid suggestions that are only helpful to someone who is totally non oriented to computers.

So genius, without visiting MIT, or Purdue, why dont you stick to the question!
1) have you had trouble with BTC cdrw's when creating safedisc protected cd copies?

2) Have you tried a poloroid burnMAX40 to create a copy of a cd protected by safedisc?

3) Are you from outside the U.S., as there are software differences between software versions of different regions, europe, U.S., Japan.

4) Do you know of any blacklisted additions to GP3 that would explain the inability for this cdrw to copy gp3 while yours is able?


O.K. Hotshot, chew on that a while......stupid is as stupid does, and stupid people who falsely assume that someone hasnt covered the basic check list when troubleshooting without first asking a question in a reasonable tone, can't be too far above simpleton status.....
