  • SimCity 4 CD Backup

    Hi i just wanted to know if any one has got simcity 4 to work as a CD Backup. I tryed but when i go to play the CD nothing happens. I burned it with CloneCD and at 4X But i dont know how the Daemon tools thing works. do i start up Daemon V3.33 and turn on safedisk and then burn a CD to CD copy with CloneCD or something else PLEASE let me know

    Thanks

    It's safedisc 2.8 protected and can be copied successfully with any 2 sheep burner. However, clonecd isn't reliable for copying sd 2.8 protected games.

    Assuming that you do have a 2 sheep writer, any of alcohol, ******** or the discdump/fireburner combination will produce a working back-up copy.

      As usual for all safedisc backup use the fastdump method :

      Select safedisc emulation in daemon
      Launch the original CD and exit the game
      Launch your favorite dumping program
      - All the unreadable sectors should be read in a few seconds

      Burn with the good burning program (not clonecd for safedisc 2.8)

      If you don't have a good burner or if clonecd was used, select again safedisc emulation to play the cd .

          Dumping is the process of creating an image of a cd. You can then burn this image or mount it to a virutal drive.

            So, it's best to use Alcohol to "dump" this sort of games...? Sorry if the question sounds stupid, but I am a newbie here...

              What's best may be subjective as long as it works, however in my humble opinion (and I guess most other people's here on the board) Alcohol is the best way to go, yes.

              CloneCD still seems to have problems with SafeDisc >2.8 let alone the newer SecuROM versions.

              I cannot tell you much about Blindwrite as I've never used it - it surely has its fans as well. But I guess this forum mostly (not completely!) consists of Alcohol fans rather than Blindwrite...

              Just go ahead, download a trial from their homepage, and check it out...
