Hi there ,
How can i backup deltaforce 3 if my CDR can't read subchannelt data....
There are like 2 "false" files in the CD which takes 2GB. so game cant be copied...
Thx poeple.

What you will prob find m8 is that those files are copyright files and are read-only...
what you could try and do is create an iso image onto your hard drive and leave those files behind.. then use the relevant cracks from gamecopyworld to get the game to work without the cd after an install...
Or you could just use nero burning rom, as it will copy across the protection files automatically.. you will need to use 80 min cdr's but hey... u prob knew that..
Hope i was some help.

Hi

AFAIK Delta Force is Safedisk 2 protected, right now theres no way to copy it (execpt a few people with an Plextor-writer , i guess).

I have an HP writer 4x4x32 and a HP writer 8x4x32
and they work too.

use clonecd tag fast error skip and intelligent bad sector...
and while writing close session

There are two tricky parts while copying a safedisk2 protection.
the reading:
open the log file, while reading you should get bad sectors between
800 and 10000, if you get more the reading is no good.
Writing: you can tag the don't reapair subchannel option or you cannot because it's greyed out. Writers wich can do the first and you can do a good read (as above) you can make a good copy.
If the box is greyed-out you should try, maybe you are lucky.
For example my hp's will do the trick, but my philips 3610 and yamaha 4260 don't.
my best guess is that by default my hp's don't repair subchanneldata and the others do.

Yes , i have made a good working copy of DFLW.

I used plexwriter 12/10/32/a and clone cd.

DF3 has dummy files and Safedisc2.
And a lot of recorder can copy Safedisc2 the problem is only that all a few normal cd-drives can't read this copies so they will run only in cd recorder.
And you need no Subdata support to copy dummy files or Safedisc2.
Ignore erros should be enough.
