AOE3 use clone cd

Forget Alcohol use cd clone - it created image no problem then mounted image - up & running in 3 minutes!

For protections like Smarte clone cd will work but if you want to make a backup of a Securom >4.8 or Starforce 3 you have to use Alcohol.

Re: Age of Empires III

Alcohol is able to make a perfect copy of Age of Empires III; just select the SafeDisc profile. There are 10 read errors in the first 1000 sectors, but they are perfectly readable. Then you can burn a CD without any option enabled.

I've done a backup image of the first Age of Empire 3 disk...
but, when I want to write this image on a cd it ask me
what is
- the track format
- the block size (2048 - 2336 - 2352)
- the image header size
- the image trailer size
- if data was scrambled already
- if data contains EDC/ECC info sections

what shell I select???
Track Mode 1 - 2048 - 0 - 0 - no - no ?????

How would we know? Which software and settings did you use to create the image? Usually the image files are created with proper information, thus the writing software won't ask!?

here is the esiest way
1. Install Slysoft's CloneCD
2. Install Alcohol 120% or 52% or Deamon Tools
3. Install CCleaner
4. Run CCleaner and "cleaner" + fix "issues"
5. Backup the game discs with CloneCD using "Read to image file" and "Protected PC Game"
6. mount the disc with Alcohol or deamon tools
7. install

worked fine here

Smarte protected cds are quite easy to copy.

as nikos said just use the safe disc profile to copy.that should do it

or

you can also use an iso image making software with read error ignore enabled
