Totally DISGUSTED Help Anyone?

9mm · #1 12-04-2002, 18:48

Ok Ive done a search to see if anyone else had the problem Im having(Noone). Also did many searches @GCW and GCW file forms. I've spent 3 days and still can't get THPS3 backed up. I know it's protected with Cd check, SO maybe someone could help me out.
I have a Plextor 8/4/32A Writer with a Toshiba 48X XM6702B CDRom (both were recommended by clone cd when I purchased them).
I'm using CLone CD version 2.8.4.3. tried many settings from none to all that are listed in CD Media pages and elsewhere on GCW. So I tried uninstalling Clone CD, tried my older version 2.7.3.1. still the same thing. I noticed the main and sub buffers are only going to 5% when I try reading the cd. I also tried Reading to image and got the same results. Tried setting the speeds 1x,2x,3,x to max. Ive made about 4 coasters already leaving it read +write with my cdrom and writer (2 each per drive) which I don't know if the main and sub buffers have anything to do with it but all 4x's they were only reaching 5% throughout the entire read, when I burn a result of a coaster is made. I know when I backed up my previous PC Games those main and sub buffer would reach 100% and I had a backed up copy of the game. Please Help.
Anyone have any clue to what my problem is?

try blindwrite suite. I had problems getting a "perfect" copy of alice with clonecd. But blindwrite was able to do it. you'll have to image then burn, but it does work. You can get it from www.cdmediaworld.com

If its only CD Checks just copy/paste and then burn it with Nero.

Also update your Clone CD and get Clony XXL

As far as only CD Checks I'm just going by GCW website http://www.gamecopyworld.com/ (under THPS3)
I couldnt agree more that there's SD2 on it,or something else,(Im not sure whats on there besides what GCW states on the site) but I first used Clony XL, and it said unknown protection. Read the errors with ClonyXL. and messed with the settings. I got a backed up copy with Clone CD 2481 last night. How I dont know because I tried it again and its not copying. The back up works,

but I would like to know why its not always working. Ill try XXL thanks for the tip. I was totally unaware of the new version. I did try YaPs without help last night. Ill try Nero and updating my Clone Cd version. Any settings that I need to be aware of with either program? I appreicate the help guys. I freaking pulling my hair out LOL

for 3 days now Oh well I at least I wont need a haircut
