Hey Shoey...I Did everything you said, and I still cant make a working copy of Jedi Academy. Here's my specs: AMD Athlon XP 2000+ 256MB DDR GeForce4 Ti4200 20x10x40x Yamaha CRW2200E Alcohol 1.4.7.1005 Alcoholer 4.0b
If you need to burn a SafeDisc2 protected game the major consideration is the drive doing the copy; certain drives have certain characteristics that give them an easier time to perform SafeDisc2 copies than others. Such drives are described as being 2-sheep burners. Drives not quite up to the task (however capable of), are described as 1-sheep burners and heaven forbid, 0-sheep burners. So the first thing you need to do is to find out what make/model your burner is and if it is a 2-sheep burner or not. To determine your make and model of your optical drives; if you happen to have Nero Infotools installed, start it up and under the Drive tab, it will list all the relevant specifications and capabilities of your burner. The actual name of your burner is listed in the drop-down box at the top (those numbers before the name of your burner are important too!). You can get InfoTools from http://www.cd-rw.org/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/nero_info_tool.cfm Once you have determined tha name of the burner, head on over to http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/45121 to see if that burner is listed there or not. If it is listed there, it is a 2-sheep burner; if it is not listed there it is not neccesarily a 2-sheep burner but highly unlikely. Now if you have a 2-sheep burner head on over to http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/23699 to find out how to copy a SafeDisc2 protected game. If you are running a 1-sheeper than visit http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/36444 for the appropriate guide.
I may have solved all of your problems people! All you have to do is download the 1.01 patch from the official site. Then you can just use Alcohol or whatever u want to make a copy of Jedi Academy. The game will run fine! And yes...i AM talking about the SecuROM version (American version). Good luck to all!
HAHA that happened with JK2 also! I couldnt play with the 1.00 version, download the 1.04 and presto!
It works for some people but is not a guaranteed fix -- although for you, you've got nothin to complain about.
I think it time to close this thread...all the info needed was given. all you guys have been great. Thank you.
No problem, glad we could help! Really though we dont close threads unless there is a reason to (someone is being dum, flame wars, piracy talk etc). Keeping threads open allows new users to connect their questions with an older one.
I have a different problem. When i load the .iso into Nero, it tell me that the "block size does not correspond to the image length" and a choice to correct or ignore. What should I do now? Thanks MC
Are you sure you have the right file? (extension?) because Nero doesnt have to do any foreign image interpretation of ISO files -- hence they are ISO in the first place, any burning application that can do image burning can natively support ISO burning. If you must set the sector sizes, set them to Mode 1 and 2048.
