How do we copy "self booting backups?"

[Wayniac]

Good luck to anyonwho can use Disc Juggler successfully. I used to be able to, until I got rid of my Philips 3610 for a Traxdata 8432+ writer.

Disc Juggler is very piccy about what writers you use. The only successful alternative I could find was CloneCD 2.7.8.1. Now I can copy self-booters, but for some very odd reason the DC takes an extra 15-20 seconds to get to the Sega screen; if you encounter this phenomenom don't worry, as after the Sega screen appears all is fine.
CloneCD can also be a bit piccy over which writer you use, but the help file has a nice table listing all the drives that work best and the reasons why.

I use an old Toshiba drive to do all my reading in CloneCD, using RAW mode. I then burn the self-booters at 8x using my Traxdata. To date there has only been a couple of games Iv'e been unable to backup.

Note: Games that don't self were as easy as pie to copy.

Good luck with your quest. :-)
