This works on the Asia-Pacific version...

I used Adaptec's Easy-CD Creator (ECDC).

1. Download ECDC (available @ GCW) & install
2. You need to go to Easy CD Creator (not CD Copier Deluxe)!!!!!
3. You will be asked to create a Data CD or Audio CD...check Data
4. You will be requested for the copy destination...This should be your CD drive
5. When you have your cd highlighted click Add Now & when all of the info you want on the CD has been added then click Next.
It is up to you whether or not you perform the test then decide if you want to create the CD now or later!

***
The only thing is that you will also have to download a NO-CD Crack also available @ GCW and copy that to the CD as well (before you burn it)!!

I'm not sure if that will work on other versions... XX (fingers crossed)

Hi Bone

I copied AOE 2 some time ago using a site from Geocities which doesn't seem to exist anymore. The crack involves a patch which I can email you if you like.

Let me know if you are interested and I will send you instructions

hey bone,

need more information...what kinda plex? is it not supported by cloneCD? what error messages is CloneCD giving you? Maybe a firmware update would help...AOE II is extremely easy to backup, it's SD1...with CloneCD just tick Fast error skip for read and always close last session for write...
