+--- Thread: Copying Games - How do I choose a CD Burner (/showthread.php?tid=7025)
- PlasticMan - 07-31-2003
So I've been trying to copy a couple of games for some of my thrifty friends and I've come to the conclusion that my burner isn't up to the task. How do I know which burners will copy null bytes and all that stuff so that I can copy some games?

If you want to create a back up of a game to which you hold the proper license, the type of burner you use will not be all that important. What is important is that you get an exe that works around the copy protection. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.gamecopyworld.com">http://www.gamecopyworld.com</a><!-- m --> is a good source for cracked exe files. As far as I know, there is no reliable way to copy games by simply copying the CD, so you will need to copy the game to your HD first, and then burn those contents along with the cracked exe to a new CD. I use cracked exe files a lot so that I don't have to put the CD in every time I play a game.

The burners are all the same. There are no "special" burners. The software is what gets around protection, whether it be your burning software or a crack to apply to the game to make the copy work.

I nearly forgot to mention Clone CD by Elby Soft. They claim to be the best 1:1 CD duplicating software. You may want to give their eval. version at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.elby.ch/en/products/clone_cd/">http://www.elby.ch/en/products/clone_cd/</a><!-- m --> a try.

just download them...its easier

yeah, clone cd has always worked for me
- LZMF1 - 08-01-2003
clonecd
cdrwin
prassi primodvd
nero burning rom
fireburner
1 of the programs mentioned above always work it all depends on the protection that's on the disc :thumbs-up:
it's trial and error.
kid a is right though...click the link he posted.....gamecopyworld kinda tells you exactly how to duplicate games and how to have your settings on your cd writing programs set.
also i think it was jack that said "they're all pretty much the same".....he's right.it all depnds on the programs you use
