Copied disk cant be read using BWA (blindwrite)

[double06point9]

Hi guys, may be someone can shed some light on my problem.
after reading about ppl's success on using BWA which came wit the new blindwrite suite, i decided to give it a go.

I tried making a 1:1 copy of Neverwinternights (i know that the protection system has been phased out with official patches but i just wanted to try it out). I did the thing with the BWA builder and got the 4 boxes on the hyperbola as the help file described, then read the CD with subcodes on nibble at 1x, and burnt it. the BWA was detected in the log and everything burnt ok. However, non of my CD drives can read the CD at all.

heres the eventlog:

i suspect there may be something to do with the "dual sectors" thing. Anyone have a comment?

In hitman 2 the way to make it run is making 2 disc, one disc using bwa file and the second without it, for installation purposes. This is because the disc burned using bwa file cant be used for installation due to the corruption¿?.

maybe this is what happened to you

bye

i see wat u mean...so one no bwa so it can actually be read from, and one with BWA so when the game starts it'll be detected as the original due it is identical structure created by the BWA. so in effect u need 2 discs to create a 1:1 copy so to speak...lol
more like a 2:1 copy...

Blindwrite Suite Version 4.2.4 is out

All about this is in the online help of Blindwrite Suite Version 4.2.4. When you read the "original", blindwrite will try to connect to their servers and it will tell you the best way to copy the game.
