Exclamation

im sure you can use dvd decrypter to do games as well (for ones on dvd disc) just hit mode>iso>read choose your drive and then name your destination once this is complete hit mode>iso>write select the image we made earlier then insert your blank disc, for cds try using nero,and either make just a straight copy or make an image with a program such as ultraISO or Alcohol 120% to make an image of a cd with ultraISO hit tools>make cd/dvd image choose which drive the disc is in, choose the output file name and i reconmend leaving it on a standard .iso output file type then hit make!, to burn either open up your usual image burning software or if you have nero installed hit tools>burn cd/dvd image then browse to find the image we just made and it its a dvd disc make sure you check the dvd disc box then hit burn!

Alcohol cannot make copies of protected game DVD's.
At this stage there is no software that can.

Alcohol 120% can copy most games EXCEPT the ones using the latest protections (StarForce v3, SafeDisc v3, SecuROM v5, TAGES), but it also depends on your CD/DVD-Burner if it is able to do so

Alcohol 120% is currently the best @ copying games. A free demo is available to test it our!
