    Hey everyone,

    I apologize if this is redundant...I have searched and read back at least 5 pages, and still don't quite get what the problem is. Once I figure it out I will go on my way and never bother you again, hehe ;)

    Anyway, I backed up my Simcity 4 PC game, used Nero, burned the iso's onto 2 discs (data image). Installed the game w/ no problems. But when I try to play the game I put in disc #1, the 'play game' screen comes up, I click 'play' and then it says "Please insert the SimCity 4 Deluxe play disk, select ok & restart the game" ??? Is it b/c I need all the files on one disc? If so, how do I do this? I'm pretty sure its too big to fit all on one. Hmm. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

    Disc 2 is the actual play disc

    BTW, nero can't bakup protected pc games so I assume you downloaded this game.

    Those discs have an special protection so that backups cant be played (safe disc), most games have some kind of protection so you cant play backups you burned. :( srry :'(

    I play backup's all the time but in order to make a working backup you need Alcohol 120% or blindwrite or clonecd to beat the protections.

    huh???

    What you need is a "No-CD Patch" which will allow you to Play your Game Backups....

    You can get the No-CD Patch for SimCity 4 over at "GameCopyWorld.com"....

    Cheers

    Is this discussable I though info about cracking games could not be discussed, because an earlier post of mine was took off because of that, although what minion says its true

    it can't be discussed.

    i made a working backup of this game using Alcohol 120%

    here's the link of the program to try and test.

    If you need any more help just ask :)
