madmattd Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I am looking for a way to make a backup copy of both of my game CDs, as they are both getting pretty scratched up, especially the second CD, obviously. I realize that there are no-cd cracks around, but I am looking for a way to make a complete image of each disk. I have tried playing around with copying from Alcohol 120% and one or two other programs as well, with no success. Anyone had success with making images that could be burned to a disk and used in place of the actual game, both for install and running the game afterwards? If so, what program and what settings were needed? O, and I did do several forum searches for this topic so please don't come after me for that. I was unable to find anything that worked for me.

ibanezjp Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 you can download a mini backup image to play the game, I can't say where as it is against the rules here but just try google Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmattd Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 Yea, I am aware of those, but I am not just looking for a way to play without the CDs. Mini-cds are great for running off the hard drive, but I am trying to find a way to make a full backup of both cds, since my install disk is getting messed up as well from having to re-install several times lately, due to a re-formatting and a few other things.

compmaniac Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Just use Nero or Alcohol 120% or something and copy the CD. I'm pretty sure there's easy-to-follow instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitoon Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Just use Nero or Alcohol 120% or something and copy the CD. I'm pretty sure there's easy-to-follow instructions. I used Alcohol 120% to copy mine...it reported a bunch of errors but it seems to have made a complete copy. You can't play the game with the copy in the drive, you still need the original (or a mini-disk image),but you can install it. I just felt better having a copy of it so that I still have all the files around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil1182 Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Just use WinISO to create the images with no errors then use the mini image to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, so the copy can't be used in place of the actual cd for game play, huh? Well, then maybe the copy I made with Alcohol is okay. That's annoying.
