    Hey there. Ok, here's the deal. I've got Diablo for pc. I want to burn a copy of it, so my friend and I can both play (plus it'd be handy havin a copy in case the original gets toasted, what happens when ya got 4 kids runnin around yer house). I dl'd that A-Ray Scanner, and it didn't pick up any cd protections, yet I've already wasted 3 cd-r's tryin to copy it. Any hints?

    In reference to my previous post, would burning at a slower speed than what I've been make a difference? I've just been using the default, which is 40x max.

    The original Diablo isn't protected so it shouldn't be hard at all. Try reading and writing at 16X and see if that changes anything.

    hey people i found this forum cos' i needed to make a backup of a pc cd-rom game, it has a securerom of five,,something,ive followed your advice and am at the stage before burning the image with alcohol,it has a box with the burn'rmps'option. if i leave it ticked does that mean i can only use the copy on a pc with alcohol installed? as i only see myself using it this once?

    If you burn using RMPS then you will need A120 installed to use the copy.

    With the right burner BlindWrite5 is much better at SecuROM than A120 is ;)

    @ Anime101

    What app did you use to make the images you have?


    @ Jindos

    You can't remove the protection from PC games because they won't work if you do. In order to make a working copy of a PC game the protection must be read very accurately then written back to the disc very accuratey. This requires specific software, settings and an EFM capable burner. If you have a look through some of the guides and posts here you'll get a better idea of what I'm talking about :)
