Unable to Backup Warcraft 3 on my Plextor, Help... - Club CDFreaks

jeffrey · 07-09-2002

I'm using:
latest CloneCD v.4.0.1.10,
Plextor 40/12/40 CD-R/RW,
with latest Firmware v.1.20

and I'm trying to backup my Warcraft 3 CD (nightelf version) onto a CD-R media (will it work on CD-RW media?). I can't seem to get the backup CD to work

(Warcraft not identifying the CD). The settings are as follow:

Read: SubChannel Data for DATA Tracks = YES
Read Speed for S.D. Data Tracks = Max
SubChannel Data for AUDIO Tracks = YES
Read SPeed for S.D. Audio Tracks = Max

Fast Error Skip = NO
Don't Report Read Errors = NO
Intelligent Bad Sector Scanner = NO

Write: Write Speed = 24x
Don't Repair SubChannel Data = YES
Amplify Weak Sectors = YES

So, if you spot any problems, please reply.... because I don't want to bake my original CD

Thanks for the help.

Correct me if I´m wrong here but since this is a SecureROM protected game I dont se any reason to Amplify Weak Sectors (there shouldn´t be any) and the Don't Repair SubChannel Data should not be ticked either (it´s mostly for backing up console games).

An easier solution would be to download the profiles cdfreaks have put togheter (accessable under the clone cd forum, sticky post).

You don't need any of the following settings:
- read subs from audio tracks
- don't repair subchannel data
- AWS

You might also try lowering both the reading and writing speeds to 8x (this sometimes helps).

Further, you should ensure that hide cd media is not enabled when reading the cd BUT if you want to play the back-up copy from your writer you must enable hide cd media before playing in order to defeat the atip check.

Why can you disable "Read Subchannel Data from Audio Tracks?" I thought that the Securom signature is stored in Subchannel info.

Where is the Hide-CD Media Option?

It's accessed from the clonecd tray icon.

Thanks guys, it works perfectly now (both CD-R and CD-RW media!).

Looks like you guys are the master and I'm the student.
