How do I backup a safedisk 2 game with a cdrw that doesn't read sub data?

Sometimes it is that simple! It works up to 99%. The latest game I backed up was Max Payne, in the same way I told you.
Undying, Black & White,....., From Dusk till Dawn, also worked perfectly (taking into account that in this case there are 2 sd2 protected files: the setup.exe and the fdd.exe)

You can save a lot of time if you dl unsafedisc2 and safediscanalyser3.4. It's easy to use and you don't have to wait for a crack to be released.
In most cases unsafedisc2 creates a NOCD patch, so you don't even need a backup CD to be present in your drive.

No more scratches or any harm to your original games.

Btw, I don't own f1 2001 and therefor I cannot tell you which version of sd2 is used as protection. Maybe there is a new version (higher than 2.40.10) meanwhile. In this case you should either wait for r!sc upadating his great tool or you have to be a good cracker yourself. Just give it a try.

Hello

I have tried copying Max Payne. My friend installed the game and tried to use it on his computer. His machine is very powerful so it is not that it isn't. The game exited at the loading screen.

The steps i took to copy Max Payne were:

1. Copy Max Payne CD to temp directory.
2. Use the Max Payne.exe from the installed game on my machine.
3. Patch the Max Payne exe from the instaled game using Unsafedisc 2.40.10.
4. Add the Max Payne exe to the temp directory.
5. Burn the game to CD.
6. When my friend got the game he installed the game, replaced the exe i had patched with unsafedisc with the one had had been installed.

Are these the correct steps to use. Is there anything i have missed. Or is there anything i should do.

With Max Payne, even when unsafedisc is used i have found that the cd is not used in the cd drive. How can this be right, wouldn't any of the game videos be run from the CD.

Thanks
