Most "EA" games have Safedisc cd protection on them. If this is the latest Tiger Woods PGA Golf then it's probably Safedisc 2.8.x cd protected m8. Use ClonyXXL to scan each disc to determine which one has the cd protection ot it (mosttly the "play disc"). Use Alcohol 120% and use the Safedisc 2 datatype to rea\write. I would read at 16/20x and burn at 8x. You can use Nero to bun the non-protected discs but I encourage you to read\write slow. Depending upon the brand name and model# of your burner will determine if you need emulation to play your backups. Shoey Shoey
hi thanks for reply i use nec 1300a dvd r/w i used alcohol to copy disc 1 and 2 were fine 3 is the problem it is the latest game 2003 i used safedisc 2.8 to create image they work fine its when i want to play disc that the third disc wont work i copy all 3 the speed rate and safedisc 2 all 3 disc had copy protection all were 2.8 safedisc thanks mark
Open Alcohol 120% and go to emulation and enable all. [bold] Minimize Alcohol 120% to system tray (startup) [/bold] and insert cd 3 in your burner and try again. Hope this works... Shoey
no still dont work could this be a license problem when i explore the error from windows it says something like license digital id ? can you tell me wat settings to use for burning that image file as i said that work fine when mount to virtual drive i originally copy disc as per totorial on this site there is one thing i remembered when i went to install all 3 disc .disc 1 install was ok then it ask for disc 2 media that was fine to then when i got to disc 3 courses it stop half way and said do i want to exit setup prompt i didnt press antything so i installed the original disc which then it carried on loading might this be the problem ? if need be if you could give me the tutorial for safedisc 2.8 protection and i will do all again and use cdrw many thanks mark
Uninstall Tiger Woods then reinstall the originals with your [bold] burner [/bold]. Now open Alcohol 120% and to emulation and enable "ignore media type". Open Alcohol 120% image making wizard and choose the Safedisc 2 datatype profile and read the image(s) at 16/20x. When all finished open the image burning wizard and use the Safedisc 2 datatype profile to burn and burn at 8x (RAW DAO). When all finished insert the "play disc" (CD 3, looks like) and see if you can play the backup from your [bold] burner [/bold] Shoey
hi what about the other 2 boxes launch cd and rmps do i check these as well or leave them unchecked as disc 1 and 2 are fine cant i just copy disc 3 again then burn afterwards mark
hi tried that still the same ive got discjuggler is there a tutorial around for use with discjuggler the one on this forum seems not to be working doesnt show up any settings
It appears cd 1 and cd 2 are fine and cd 3 is Safedisc 2.8.x cd protected. Give Blindwrite Suite 4.5.4 a try as I couldn't backup The Sims Superstar (Safedisc 2.9) with Alcohol 120%. Blindwrite did the job for my Memorex MAXX52 cdrw. Basically you read the image of cd 3 using "alternative read method" and read at 16/20x. After you've done that open the burning wizard and locate the image file and burn DAO pw at 8x. Go to general settings [bold]before you burn then enable "enhance weak sectors"[/bold]. Again, play the backup in your burner.

hi thanks shoey that worked fine do i have to burn the other to disc or will they be ok thanks again m8 much appreciated im very happy
Burn CD 1&2 using Blindwrite Suite but [bold] disable enhance weak sectors [/bold]. Again, read at 16/20 x and bur DAO pw at 8x. Shoey
