Battlefield 2142 backup Problem

[Pr1ma1]

I'm currently unable to get a working copy of battlefield 2142 working from a virtual drive from Daemon Tools , I have created a image but I'm unable to get a copy working.

I currently have Daemon Tools 4.06 installed for a working Crysis image, and also the latest 1.4.7080 Y.S.A.U installed.

I'm using the Latest Alcohol 120% 1.9.7 Build version 6221 for image creating only.

My game is a legit copy if anyone asks that question.

I'm just looking for a little information on methods for making a working copy of the game and anyother software or versions of software I'm currently using or not using that could help me.

Battlefield 2142 has safedisc 4.70

Alcohol 120%/52%:

--> it is important to uncheck the "Skip reading errors" box as there are part of the copy protection.


Daemon Tools Pro:

Use "safedisc 3" profile to create the image.

Afterwards, mount the image in latest daemon tools. Also use YASU to cloak your drives.

Give it a try.

@Pr1ma1
As long as Safedisc detects there are optical IDE drives present it refuses to start in a (virtual) SCSI drive.
On some rigs YASU isn't capable of completely hiding the optical IDE drives.

You can try to

- disable your optical IDE drives with Alcohol's EDM system (View -> DVD/CD drive EDM system)
- disable the IDE channel your optical drive is attached to in Device Manager
...(of course only if not sharing channel with a "vital" HDD)
- disable IDE drive(s) with Starforce Nightmare
- disable IDE drive/channel in BIOS

or you can burn a copy to DVD with Alcohol 120% using the Safedisc datatype as described .

Most simple method would be mounting an image in the virtual IDE drive of Daemon Tools PRO Advanced.

@bismax
In contrast to CDs reading errors don't occur on original Safedisc DVDs.
There are only weak sectors present which become erroneous on a backup DVD when RMPS emulation is disabled.

Ok, I've forgotten that.
