DDump & Daemons Tools

well, I'd just like to say that having both DDump & Daemons Toolz is a very good combination, for someone that doesn't have a raw compatible burner!!!

Also, a note to anyone who uses both...
While "DDumping", DO NOT HAVE DAEMONS TOOLS RUNNING!
I did, and I got a message saying "Device 0:1:0 doesn't support fast error skip", when i know it does...

Not realising this at the time, dumping the sims: house party took a good 13 hours!!!!! Instead of 35mins!

Just thought I'd let everyone know, before THEY waste their time 8)

Oh dear - it´s the other way around

If you use the Daemon´s fast dump feature (only for SafeDisc/SafeDisc2!) the errors will be read in ca. 10 secs, so the whole dumping process would be ca. 5 mins instead of 35 - now who wasted his time?

And btw - The Sims is protected by SafeDisc so it would´ve been highly recommended to use the Daemon and it´s fast dump feature ... ##### the Daemon´s Home -> instructions for details ...

What do you mean a good combination for those who don't have a RAW burner? Where are you storing the image? Probably on the hd, after 10 or so games copies you'll have occupied nearly 7Gb of space on the hd and thats not taking into consideration the mount of space each installed game occupies. I rather burn the image to a CD.

What seems to be the problem? If your writer (please tell me what writer it is) doesn´t support RAW writing at all, do a 1:1 copy of the game and use the Daemon´s SafeDisc emulation to play - btw it´s recommended to use the Daemon´s fast dump feature anyway!

Of course it is

but I had to clear this stuff up! Don´t use Daemon & DiscDump together - what a crap
