Can someone explain how to burn a working back-up of a game?

[pookguy88]

that game jackal thing sounds good, but i don't like how u have to have it running when i'm running my games, thats extra mem usage

doesn't your drive need to properly read whatever is used in the game for protection? I remember back in the day, the 8x plextor I had could take anything on the market you threw at it Very good too, cause if I had brought my originals to school w/ me at the time, they would have gotten broken most likely.

It doesn't. SafeDisc 4.6 is quite the PITA.

This is one issue with copy protection...you have the legal right to make a backup of your purchased product but then you find you can not copy and get it to work..what pure bunch of crap

You all know music cdr have built in royalty to cover the issue of copying music cds...yet if there are protections you get screwed again....the RIAA are so full of themselves.....get the consumer anyway they can...no more cds for me...Sirius sat radio

have you tried a no cd .exe???

yeah this copyright is pissing me too.
I remember, when I use to play starcraft online. I had cracked the CD and I had to run to the store to purchase another game. Also, I recently had my HD crash and lost alot of my Itunes...I hadn't backed them and I am afraid that I have to pay for those songs again.

There is no no-cd patch for Civ4 yet, nealh. Trust me, I've looked.

Just wanted to let you all know, I got Civ4 to work as a backup copy. It takes a little manuevering, but if you want to know how, PM me.
