    Check out http://www.gamecopyworld.com/ tons of info. on backing up CD's and using FIXED .exe's (disable the need for having the CD in the comp to play), and cheats.

    For the most part I use:

    ---> Alcohol 120% http://www.alcohol-soft.com/ to back up and create images

    ---> Daemon Tools http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/announcements.php current v.4.0.3 make sure you read the info about the 4.0 release as it explains the ad content (search bar, but it can be disabled just watch for the option on install), spyware programs will HIT on it if it isnt disabled, alot of debate about it

    DAEMON Tools is a virtual cd/dvd-rom emulator. It is able to emulate nearly all known copy protections on the market today.

    ---> CD Killers Protection ID v. 5 http://pid.gamecopyworld.com/Startpage.html the ultimate Game Protection Scanner (kinda a mjor PITA to use, but works very well)

    The are also other tools out there, and I personally back up games to a DVD

    Also you will experience alot of problems too, thats why I recommend baking up the game before you actually install the game onto your system this way you actaully know if the back up will worky

    I dont usually use DAEMON TOOLS protection emulators as I have ran into many problems with em (For NEW games) I usually will use a tool like SafeDisc Hider which tricks the SafeDisc protection schemes

        thats why as soon as you plop the disc into your system the first time you scan it with CD Killers Protection ID v. 5 so you have an idear of whats on it as SafeDisc 4 is a rather nasty lil program that blocks and remembers and can be nasty to get off your system

        Hopefully with Sony's recent SNAFU with their music CD's (ROOTKIT), we wont see any other companies try to use Rootkits

        nB

        -PS, I do buy ALL my games, I'm too old to mess with pirated crap, I just hate the Media Distributers not allowing us to make back ups or make us stick in the frickin game before we play it-
