Swat 4 ( couple of questions)
Hi ppl. This is the next game i want to purchase (swat 4). After looking on CD-mediaworld it states its protected with "secuROM new". Has anyone here backed up Swat 4. (UK original shop version, not a D/L version). If so i would like to know if the UK version is also protected with "secuROM new" and if its also CD-ROM or DVD and im intrested to know which software was choosen to back it up ?(Nero,clone,alcohol etc). Before i buy a game i like to know if im going to be able to back it up etc. (I have children, I have learnt an expencive lesson in the past). Thanks.

SWAT is protected with SecuROM v5 as stated on GCW.
I am not aware if anyone has succesfully made an 1:1 copy of SWAT4. However it is possible making a backup using the NoCD on GCW.
I can not make an 1:1 copy as my NEC 2510A can't handle it.

Thats easily done, copy all files from the CD's to your HDD and add the NoCD into the folder where you copied the files.
If you feel like you can make a DVD version while you're at it.
Check out how to do that here that in the CD2DVD thread here on the forum.

If anyone has made any succesful 1:1 backup on this one, please write here and help him out.

@ kosmiq
Thanx for the speedy reply. I have sucsesfully made 1.1 back-ups in the past (with my old CD/RW drive) but have yet to try with my DVD-RW. As for your advice about copying cd contents onto HDD then burning onto CD (Thats a way i use frequently when trying to back-up the more stubon copy-protected games. (Many ppl critisize Nero but i love it,Its able to do more tasks than clone etc and i havent come across a game i havent been able to backup with perservirence. (excuse spelling mistake,never was a strong point of mine). I just want to know who has made a working backup (dosent have to be a 1.1) and what software they used to do it. (to many ppl think its all hardware related but the software used for certian games is just as important). Any info will be read,and appreciated..

the demo was quite buggy. but the game exceeds the demo in nearly every way (imo). the look and feel is just great. i hope that some issues are adressed in a patch soon. the mp is great, but lacks some functionalities one would expect from a tac-shooter.

but nevertheless......its so
