BACKING UP YOUR VIDEO GAMES
**************************************************
The purpose of this article is to help you with your game backups.These options are to create a backup without using cracks.
**************************************************

Hardware

If you want to use one device to read and write,the Liteon 12102B and 24102B,as well as the newly released Plextor 24/10/40A will read and write all protections.

**************************************************
The best readers for protected games are the Liteon LTD163/165,and the newer Toshiba Dvd rom drives.


You can also check the Clone cd site to see if your hardware is supported.The link is provided below.With all of the current protection schemes it is possible your writer or reader/writer combo will have problems with some of the protections.The Clone site has lots of hardware listed:

*************************************************
Detector


A good detector is necessary to find the protection on your game.It is a program that searches the files on your game.Once it is installed you place the game in your writer and enable the scan button.When it finds the protection you enable the Clone button .It will send the proper settings to your software,(Clone cd).

**************************************************

SOFTWARE


I recommend Clone cd because the detectors are written for Clone,and simplify the process.You can download a fully working free demo at the link below.

Vob instant cd/dvd also works well, once you know the protection used.

Blindread/Write is another option,as well as Discjuggler.

**************************************************
IMPORTANT:Many new games use an atip check.This will stop backed up games from playing in a cd writer.Use your cdrom/dvdrom drive for backups.


If you have questions, ask in our forum.Just remember that the game developers are always (upgrading) their protections,so you need to stay informed.Good luck!!
