hey everyone,
since recently i own a plextor pxw - 48 24 A. now i know this one is considered to be among the best, esp. with firmware 1.04. still, i canīt get a working copy of almost any protected game. i tried a lot with clone cd 4.2, even downloaded templates, but neither image nor the cd copy work for the protection. everything else works perfectly though.
does anybody know of this problem?
thx alot,

i signed in as guest, and found me having all posting rights. either someone was not very creative in choosing name/pw or this is kind of a public user name (as the name suggests). iīll be right back.
now iīm registered...
did anyone have the same problems with the above combination?
OK. Tell us what it is you're trying to copy and we'll tell you how to go about it. It would help if you also tell us what operating system you use and whether you have any other available roms to use either as readers or to use to run the copied cds.
the last one was indiana jones and the emperors tomb; i tried several templates (game cd, protected game, safedisc template);i reinstalled clonecd;i donīt remember what else.
the problem is, i didnīt get it to make a working copy of other games as well. also, images i created with my old burner (cyberdrive 52x i believe) that were working from a virtual drive,did not work when copied onto a cd-r.
the cyberdrive was able to make working images, but couldnīt burn them to a cd-r, the game always noticed.
the plextor doesnīt even create working images anymore.
iīve been searching the web for a while, but never came across anyone facing the same problems.
system spec.:
windows 2000, service pack 3
AMD Athlon 1800+
512 MB DDR RAM 333MHz
Elitegroup Mainboard with SIS chipset (Board K7S6a)
Geforce 4 Ti4400 128mb ram
teac cd-rom 540 or so.
actually, i believe the problem must be somewhere in my system settings.
whatever, thx everybody.

sorry, thought it didnīt work...

Follow discussion on "Clony XXL" - this will tell you what protection, and how tough - not sure if it identifies the later flavours of Safedisk 2 though, which are possibly out of the un-updated CloneCD's league.
If you are reading in the burner, and have not activated "hide CDR media", then you may be falling foul of a CD-R media check.
For recent things, you may also be falling foul of a check for CloneCD.
CloneCD is "old technology" now, overtaken by Alcohol and BlindWrite - and there are protections now that CloneCD CANNOT do, or can only handle with outside help.

so you think itīs not a problem with my settings or some hardware prob, but that anyone using a plex and clone cd would face the same difficulties (given the fact he burns the same software)?
iīll try the above mentioned, though, thx.
Well Indiana Jones and the Emperors Tomb isn't copy protected at all. You can copy it with anything. Personally I'd just use nero or burnatonce but if you want to use CloneCD you can use either the Data CD profile or the Game CD profile.
If your plex can't copy it, there's something wrong with it or with your system generally.
US/UK, etc. versions were I believe as you say not protected. But ur_ma is I believe from Germany where it was probably protected with SafeDisc v2.90.040
Well if it's sd 2.9, he should look here but the chances with a 1 sheep plex aren't good.
Alcohol with Bypass efm error would be the best try.
An emu copy with ccd won't work because they don't work without hide cdr media and hide cdr media is blacklisted by sd 2.9.
In any case, I think that something must be wrong with ur_ma's hardware as there's no reason why an image read with the plex shouldn't work when mounted on a virtual drive (assuming that is that the game was installed from the vd so as to avoid hotwiring issues).
Well if CloneCD's virtual drive was used, then that would probably explain it as I would assume that it is also blacklisted.
Yep. It sure is and it doesn't have to be active. It only has to be installed (which is the default). Recommendation if you still use ccd in combination with other duping soft is that you uninstall and then do a custom re-install without the vd.
Ccd itself isn't blacklisted by sd 2.9 but both hide and ccd's virtual drive are blacklisted. If you want to use a vd proggy then use either alcohol's or daemon tools since both have been updated so as to bypass the blacklistings (yes, both were initially blacklisted by sd 2.9 too).
