- Many games like Grim Fandango, Rent-A-Hero and other new games today are
- copyprotected the same way:
-
- 1.) Using illegal TOC: one data-track follwed by one (or more)
- audio-track and again a data-track
- 2.) The sum of file sizes is much greater than 700 MB, for example
- Grim Fandango 5 GByte. Most of this files can┤t be copied.
-
- So how to copy it ?
- What You need: 1.) Again the incredible CDRWin (>= V3.5c)
- 2.) a 80min/700MB-CD
- 3.) a cdrom/burner with good error-correction
-
- In the following CDRWin 3.5c is meant:
- 1.) Start CDRWin ---> Copying CD
- 2.) You now see the TOC (Track 1 (Yellow,Mode1), Track 2 (Red,Audio)
- and Track 3 (mostly Yellow, MODE1)
- Click on Track 1 with the right mouse button:
- You will now get some informations about this track.
- Important here: Start- and End-Sector-Number !
- 3.) Now select COPY SECTORS
- Insert the start- and end-sector.
- Select format: DATA MODE1 RAW (2352)
- 4.) On the second page choose at errorhandling: REPAIR
- 5.) Start creating image (FINISH)
- 6.) In most cases the creation of the image stops at about 99 % with
- an error message (cannot read track xxxxxx to yyyyyy,
- hardware-error.....).
- 7.) Now take the xxxxxx-number minor 1 and insert as new end-sector
- (for example Rent-A-Hero: xxxxxxx=341847 -------->
- new end-sector=341846)
- 8.) Create the image again
-
- Now we have the image, but how to burn it ?
-
- There are two ways:
- 1.) Create a CUE-file and burn it with CDRWin using the CUE-File
- (A CUE-file is only automatically created when COPY DISK
- was selected !)
- 2.) When you don┤t know how to create a CUE file:
- I use the burning program NERO (>=V3.0) to burn it.
- In this programm select CD Image....
- The program says now that it is not a nero-image and you have to
- set some parameters.
- Here are the parameters:
- DATA MODE1, RAWDATA (Check the box, the number 2352 will be
- grayed out)).
- The other parameters should be set to zero and boxes should be
- unchecked.
- 3.) Now you can start burning the image.
-
- This new created cd you can copy in the "normal" way.
-
- Good luck !
