what i dont understand is the process i have alcohol and all that good stuff but i dont know what step 1 would be and so on, it wont let me make 1:1 copies so im guessing i have to make an image file and mess with that?

I thiink the two games are Safedisk 2, so read and write the image with the Safedisk 2 profile.

If it's safedisc 2, you'd better check here to see if your writer supports correct EFM-encoing (two sheep), otherwise it may not work.

ok i tried making a copy of medal of honor spear head using alcohol, safe disc 2 but it wont let me uncheck "read sub channel data" and i keep getting disc read errors, probably because i only have the trial version right? how much does alcohol go for?

I think the Alcohol120% demo is only time limited and should work exactly like the real thing, so there's probably something else wrong.

The disc errors are normal with Safedisc 2 and have nothing to do with Trail Version of Alcohol !!!

So long as they are between sectors ~800-10000 then they are normal. Not sure why it wont let you UNcheck subchannels, but having it enabled won't disturb the reading of the Safedisk game - it's just not needed
