Sure glad I didnt toss my old cdrom drives. I knew they may come in handy again some day. I was gonna scrap em at one time.

i only do have panzers installed, but the copy of my original-cd no.3 works perfectly with my dvd-rom-drive (toshiba m1712). so imo no need to get an old cd-drive...try it with your dvd-rom first if one has one)

- Burned them with LiteOn DVD-RW
- Use WinOnCD6 DVD-Edition with latest 2 updates
- Maximal Read & Burning Speed
(I dont change any settings)
- Install the burned games with old CD-Rom Drive
- I didnt shut down DaemonTools and Virtual Discs or other Softwares
- Play them within the old CD-Rom drive

DId you create an image file using winoncd or just copied the game cd on the fly ? and how long takes it for that 8x drive to pass the cd check ?

I made an Image, CD check in old CDrom: 2-3 sec

I tried on TDK CD-R but did not work ,but TDK is crap ,i will buy quality discs and try again. i will buy some FUJIFILM

[Hawk404]

..i think its not the CD-R Manufactor what i used.. i think its the old CDrom-Drive why i could play the Backups.. Wish you luck with trying FUJIFILMs..

And also i have no problems to make an Image of a Disc what is Starforce protected.. Strange, because i read a lot of problems in this forums about making backups..

I could not tell why they all works on my PC, but i am happy that so it is

well i had the same 8x drive as you have but i sold it in 1997 or 1998 or so , i thought i would not need it anymore and now you see however i still have an slow 4x cdrom will try some tricks. otherwise i will buy a Toshiba drive,lots of people have mentioned that sf3 backups works on that drive
