everything worked after i pasted the no cd crack to the installed directory. i was running it from the cd the first time, that's y it didn't work. I guess the cd was burned fine. I really appreciate your help, thank you so much. ^____________________^ u made me a happy man, haha.
1. After the 1.2 Patch BF1942 becomes, Safedisc 2.80010 protected. 2. lastexile: The whole point of spending all the time beforehand and burning the game is to not have to use a noCD. When you make a perfect copy you are no longer restricted to specific versions of the game and you can freely patch the game as you please unlike when you resort to noCDs.
hi seems you know what you are talking about maybe you could help me im trying to back up my bf1942, road to rome, and my secret weapons but so far ive only been able to back up my road to rome im using alcohol 120% with alcoholer and my writer is a liton 52x ive also got a pioneer a105 dvdrw when im trying im just getting thousands of disc errors no matter which protection i choose i know its safedisc 2.51
It is common to encounter read errors when reading images of Safedisc cd protection. Bad sectors are found within 1-10,500 of the protected cd. Use your Litey to read (or dump) the image of Battlefield 1942, Road To Rome, Secret Weapons Of WW II and use either Alcohol 120% or BlindWrite Suite to backup. You "may" need the aid of ATIP tool (ignore media type) to play your backups. Another option is to install the game then use either Alcohol 120% or BlindWrite Suite and read (or dump) cd 2 (Battlefield 1942) then use Alcohol's virtual stealth drive>mount cd 2>enable ignore media type> play backup from your created virtual stealth drive. This game isn't blacklisted" as I've already tested.... Shoey
cheeres mate but what do i use to dump the image as alcohol wont let me dump it thats where the problem is i cant read it thats when the disc errors accurr
Like I said in my previous post m8, you'll encounter read errors when reading the image of Battlefield 1942, Road To Rome& Secret Weapons Of WW II. Use the Safedisc 2 datatype profile to read all images and burn RAW DAO at 8x (preferably). Try the backups in your Pioneer with emulation "bad sector" enabled. If the backup fails then insert in your Litey and enable "ignore media type " emulation. Safedisc 2.x Bad sectors within 1-10,500 sectors of the cd Safedisc 2.8-2.9 Pre-gap within 1-150 sectors of the cd Bad sectors within 1-10,500 of the cd. Shoey
Thanks for all the info in shoey's posts. got a few questions tho; cant find if pioneer a05 is a 1 or 2 sheep burner (alltho it is a dvd burner to start.) and i havent seen and rao dao setting only raw dao. just a typo or what? also ive been having trouble with what drive the game looks for when trying to run, i.e. setup the game from daemon 3.33 "k:/" tried to play from ao5 "f:/" and i get a please insert correct disk (even if the orig is in the ao5). had a copy prior to buying the orig. but the copy was from a plextor and seems to only like that drive. any thoughts? thanks!
shoey im sorry to ask this after all the questions but im a noob at all this just learning things for the first time usaully i do cd copy nero 5.?? many versions i have (lol) and i get the same prob as the other guyys do insert correct disk well im in da middle of downloading alc120 and would like to have ur assistancece seeing as the many replies i have seen from you u actually know what you are talking about and i am wishing to burn my games for my frfiends and as backups for myself ;-) sry to ask this of you seeing you might have already answered this question in previous replies but please be patient with me as i am a big ass n00b
ps im using liteon ltr52327s qs08 cd-rw drive poor quality i think anyways all help and patience appreciated
Everyone started off as a n00b Gotta start somewhere! In any case, my comments about Nero's CD Copy Feature: 1. Horrible 2. Poor choice for unproteced cds 3. An even worse choice for protected cds (that is, anything with a more significant protection scheme than say... somethin 8 years ago). When you get a message 'Please insert cd and click to continue...' and you are playing with a copied cd, odds are that the copy you made was not done perfectly (hence the need for a noCD). To copy a SafeDisc2 type game, the most important consideration is the model of your burner. The most generic classification is whether or not your burner is rated as a '2-sheep' burner or not. You want a 2-sheep burner as it will make your copying task much easier and your copies will work anywhere without the aid of emulation and such.For a list of 2-Sheep burners as well as an explaination as to what exactly "sheep" are, see http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/45121 and http://www.elby.ch/en/products/clone_cd/writers/a.html Now the drive you've got there should be a 2-sheeper and to do a SafeDisc2 backup, pay a visit to http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/23699
To Shoey & (afterdawn forums) i am not pirating any software or games i am actually backing up my own software and programs due to having a child and cats who likle to climb things and i had to purchase bf1942 3 times so far and i just cant afford to be doing that once i week i keep trying to relocate the originals but if i was to put them in a cupboard or something i would most likely forget where i had put them sorry if i made you think otherwise but as i said you seem to be the guy to talk to when it comes to burning stuff hence why i personally asked for your help in the context at hand and ty to the other replies as they have also helped ty Shoey for the info
When you make backups for friends, this is piracy m8 . Next time you post, just simply say: I need help backing up Battlefield 1942. Shoey
hallo i have a problem white Alcohol 120% this progama wil not reading from the disk whit savedisk 2.9 se ever time bad sector i have a lite-on ltr-32123s and lite-on dvd rom ltd112. cloncd wil dont work have the same problem. can somebuddy help me ?
as qouted by [bold]aldaco12[/bold] i say After identifying the protection method, you can choose the proper application to backup your CD. We suggest: >> Alcohol 120% (easiest) for backup of almost all type of protected CDs (except SecuROM 4.8x and - on certain cases - Safedisc 2.8x and above) >> BlindRead/Write suite 4.2.5 or CloneCD (this one with the help of Twinpeaks) in order to backup CDs protected with NEW SecuROM 4.77.x or above (4.8.x in the following) >> Discdump/Fireburner method is also known to be very good for backups of SecuROM 2.x (also latest 2.80), so you might give it a try. The full tutorial (w/pictures) is here: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/29452 >> Padus DiskJuggler is also told to be very good in order to backup CDs protected with Safedisc 2.8x and above (see Shoey's post at the end of this thread) Download links for the software above mentioned are provided below: > Alcohol 120%: http://cd-rw.org/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/alcohol120.cfm > BlindWrite: http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?threadid=61418 (for version 4.25) and http://www.blindwrite.com/download.htm (for latest version) > CloneCD: http://www.elby.ch/english/products/clone_cd/download.html > TwinPeak Tool: http://kickme.to/blackcheck > Padus DiscJuggler: http://www.padus.com/downloads/demo.php > Fireburner: http://www.fireburner.com/downloads.shtml > Discdump Frontend:http://come.to/ddumpfrontend If you are on US or Japan, CloneCD will have a 'regional lock'. You can easily bypass the lock by changing Windows 'International Settings' Please note that you can backup SecuROM 4.8x with also Alcohol 120% (working backup, need Datatype: SecuROM NEW 4.x , which allows DPM on reading phase and 'Burn RPMS' on writing phase. The resulting CD will need emulation (Alcohol running with 'RPMS Emulation' option switched ON) when playing. For this reason the backup is called working but not perfect. For Safedisc 2.8 and above, you must know that, so far, Alcohol 120% is known to be very easy-to-use and effective, but sometimes two other methods are duggested: > Discdump/Fireburner > DiskJuggler DiskJuggler is the only software that is able to read/write the pre-gap (provided you have a good CD-Writer) needed to have a working Safedisc 2.8+ backup. Other software (Alcohol 120%, CloneCD, BlindWrite) might create working backups but since they emulate the pre-gap during writing rather than phisically write the pre-gap , the backup CD might become useless if, for instance, you install an update patch on the game. More in general, keep in mind that the chance of making Safedisc 2.8+ working backups is strongly burner-dependent so you might either not be able to backup a SD 2.8+ CD at all. Or, maybe, you could be able to backup a the CD, but needing to use the burner rather than the reader to play it... it's a kind of 'hit and miss' game. Knowing if your burner is at least a '2-sheep burner' also helps a lot: http://elby.ch/english/products/clone_cd/writers/a.html To keep things simple, we will stick on three basic methods: (Alcohol 120% for everything except SecuROM 4.8x, BlindWrite 4.25 for SecuROM 4.8x and Discdump/Fireburner method for Safedisc 2.8+ should Alcohol 120% fail). The full Discdump/Fireburner tutorial (w/pictures) is here: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/29452 An optional procedure to backup SecuROM 4.8 with CloneCD / Twinpeaks is located here: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/26771 At the end of this thread you'll also find the proper R/W settings for DiskJuggler, that in some cases will help to successfully backup Safedisc 2.8+ should Alcohol 120% fail. Any other specific problem should be posted and answered separately. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ END OF STEP 2. for a full detaileed instructions on image creating and backing up follow the link i have provided thanks to [bold]PRAETOR[/bold] http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/23699 click on this link it explains everything dont thank me thank the guys that originally provided the information
Your keyboard gone haywire m8? (laughs).. It is common to encounter disc read errors when dumping a image of Safedisc cd protection. if using Alcohol 120%, insert Battlefield 1942 in your Litey and choose the Safedisc 2 datatype profile to read the image. When all finished insert a blank cd-r in your Litey and choose the Safedisc 2 datatype profile and burn RAW-DAO at 8x. When all finished play your backup in your dvd\cd-rom and not your Litey cd burner. Shoey
No one has been on this thread lately, I hope people see this. I want to backup my Warcraft 3 CD. I used Nero, but it keeps failing. I used Clony to scan the CD, and it said it had Bad Sectiopns on it. Im fairly sure the cd only has bad read sections, and no other copy protection files. I then started Clone CD and it kept failing. Does anyone know of a program that can copy it? I'm going ot try Alcohol 120.
if you would like some assistancee please add me as i dont think anyone else watches this thread anymore so add me on msn at angel_666_308@hotmail.com
