Game Back-Up/Copy Help

I am looking for some suggestions to help me in creating backup copies of various games.
I am currently using Adaptec 4 and have attempted to use EZ CD Copier. Several games will not copy at all ie... AOEII, Clive Barker's Undying, The Sims and a few others. Would Nero and Clone CD do the trick. I do not want to do anything illegal just have backup copies.
 
Copy protection is getting tougher to defeat nowadays, so it's probably going to be a lot harder to do your backup copies...
 
Thanks SoZ. I apreciate the info. I went to Clone CD and downloaded both the database and the burn utility. So far very impressive. The database lists nearly all the games you can think of and has a "live update" capability as well. :0) Very Cool sight. How long of a trial period do they give for Clone CD? I seen the price was 49.00 Is that Deutch Marks? In my opinion, it is well worth it, if it can only just copy the games in the current database. Currently it lists 1000 plus games! Just got back from Frankfurt, Germany last week, my first time. Germany is an awesome place to visit. Thanks again for your kind wisdom. 😀
 
Thanks everybody!!!😉
I knew our team would come through😀
I could not bring up gamecopyworld.com
Is it down or has it been removed?😕
Clone CD seems to be doing the trick so far.

The Price is in US Dollars. untill registered you will not be able to burn at full speed, i think its 2x till you register
 
Yup 2x. Takes a while but it works great. I am going to buy it though.

Say Son O Zeuz, let me bounce something off ya, I have a new game Clive Barker "The Undying" brand new. I can't seem to get this game to install at all. It starts to open the installation wizard and then stops with an error message "setup failed to launch installation engine No such interface supported". I have installed many other games made by the same vendor EA Games with no problems. I have installed DirectX8 and have checked everything else out got any ideas or suggestions of wher to go for advice? The vendor is no help. 8$ an hour kid.
:disgust:
 


<< setup failed to launch installation engine
:disgust: >>



What operating system?
Is that the original game or a burned copy?
Have you installed the latest MS Windows Installer?

You could have a bad Disk, have you tried it in another system?
 
Tried it in another machine. No problem went very smooth. I am going to reformat and reinstall WIN98SE. This machine is a very used machine &quot;family machine&quot; all kinds of crap been installed and uninstalled on this machine. I am thinking there are corrupt dlls that hoses the install engine. Fairly confident this will do the trick. Damm kids can be nasty little buggers😛
Thanks Son of Z.
