Hello everyone,
Maybe I'm just not to bright. I haven't had a lot to luck using Clony any verison. When I select pass setting on to CloneCD can I use the "copy cd button" or do I have to use the R/W buttons seprately? If I have to change settings manually because it doesn't always get it right, What good is it?
I'm in the US.

What CD-RW drive do you have? When I use Clony and get the detection and the settings, I open Clone CD, I do the "Read To Image File" function first, then "Write To Image File second", therefore I do the two things seperately, which I think you should try. If your game is Safedisc 2 and you have a Liteon, make sure Amplify Weak Sectors is off, I have made a few coasters of my own like that.

Hi

Bin you're clony as the site as now closed.

A programe I would recomend that is better is called SCOUT you can get it from, http://www.entf.de/englisch/

With this proggy you can create your own profiles. it as a data base built in with all the latest games showing you what setting to use take my advise you wont go wrong

I took your advice and gave Scout a try. I'm very glad I did. After the install I had it read a SD game, "No One Lives Forever" and was "VERY" please with the results. I will be sure to spread the word about Scout.
Thank you very much for telling me.

Hi glazenuts,
Im glad you were able to get some success.

I thought clony was a brilliant protection detecter when it first came out but time change. Scout is just more user friendly

Here's the direct download link to both. I personally use ClonyXXL.

Download ClonyXXL 2.0.0.6 here | Mirror

Download Scout 2.2 Final Full here

Hope this helps,

I now have both programs. Thanx to all that replied. I think I like "Scout" a little better.

Thanx to all that replied. I'm now using scout2.2 I like it very much.

My only beef is that Clony is half english and half.....dutch I think.

Since I am unable to use Clony[because of language difficulties], would anyone be able to refer me to a site with a fully english program of clony or just for a different program?

Those ClonyXXL links are WAAAYYY out of date.

Its on version 2.0.1.3a, and is actually alot better than most copy prot scanners out there.

(Incase anyones wondering Splinter cell is CD1 = Nothing, CD2 = nothing, CD3 (Play Disk) = SD2.8)

Hi Edgemaster,
Yep clony as moved on and is a lot better now.
That is the one I would now recomend and used with the profiler it is easy to use

I've tried versions 2.0.0.6 and now 2.0.1.1 and both versions create havoc with my pc causing it to lock up.
2.0.1.1 will lock up on the second disk i try to scan and then i have to switch the pc off and reboot.

Think i'll give Scout a go, if only i could find a link that works.

The title of this thread is "Is ClonyXXL really any good"

My answer is yes, for a first time user and only if you want Adapatec's ASPI loaded onto your system and it doesn't conflict with any other SCSI layer already loaded.

Read the FAQ (which also links to Down & Dirty), if any of the links are broken, please let me know.

... not Dutch, just "Germish"...

There are too major problems with ClonyXXL
=> misdetection due to strange detection schemes can cause panic by reporting Tagès on an unprotected CD
=> author is ... strange (i don't have another explanation for his problem with translations)
