Nero is a good mastering prog, but not a good cloner. Do you really think that VLuka's guide is difficult...?

if the game ask you to insert the original disk it means that you need a no-cd crack for that game.

Read sticky posts to know where to find crack!

Hehe, bullshit! Not necessarily. This could also mean (taking into account the games he mentioned) that he hasn't the right tools and thew right guides.

Hey dude, I gave you a link to this post in my first reply. Go and read it. Try it and then come back if you are having further questions. (Usage of Clonecd, Blindwrite or Alcohol 120% is rather simple)
