Can anybody help me how to make a backup copy of Max Payne 2 (3 CD's: Install 1, Install 2 and Play)?

I've tried to copy the "Play"-CD with [b]CloneCD[/b] 4.3.1.9. I´ve tried with "Protected PC Game" and "Game CD". The game works fine with the original "Play" -CD, but not with my backup.

[b]ClonyXXL [/b]v2.0.1.5 diagnosed the protection to be: SecuRom *new* V 4.85.04.0021.

I've got a DIMENSION8300 with a SAMSUNG CDRW/DVD [b]SM-348B[/b], which in a test postet here [b]failed to read lead in and lead out[/b] sections of the CD -does that matter in my case?

(Quote: "If you look at the advanced features, you can see that while the drive was able to read the subchannel data and CD-Text, it failed to read the lead in and lead out sections of the CD" - almost halfway down on this page: http://www.cdrlabs.com/reviews/index.ph ... erformance

... Why don't you just use the "no cd" patch ?

mac4madsen,
have you ever been able to make a backup of a "Play"cd?
If so,what did you use then?
I've never had any success.

E

well u can surely do that
fist of all pop the play cd in
open up clone cd
go to copy disc
then keep the speed atleast 16x
go for the image save and then write mode dont go for the on the fly mode see if this works
cause it worked for me
as i too have a samsung
which are considered bad for such copying
