hi everyone i am an extreme newbie to all this.
I have got command & conquer generals and i basically want to copy it and be able to play off the copy. i have no idea about all this safe disc stuff and so can someone please tell me what software i need and any procedures to follow would be great. thanku for ur time!

First of all - do not use a thread subject like the one you have used .. it is too general and other members want to know what the thread is gonna be before reading it (it will be changed to something more specific).

As to your problem, i do suggest a simple search on "command conquer generals" that will probably get you the help you need quicker.

You can get started with this one

Hi !

I want share my little experience with you concerning "How copy Command & Conquer Generals" CDs.

Well I was a lot frustated in last time cause I try a lot of copy program to try have one copy who work of Generals.

I try CloneCD (version 4.2.0.2) and not just one time. I try with different kind of parameter but even if I can copy CDs of Generals NEVER they work.

I try too Blind Write (v 4.06.56), Nero-Burning Rom 5.5.10.15 but don't work too.

So I feel desesperate and more when I see guy who can have work copy with CloneCD. So I say why not work with me ? :-(

I buy even a new burner but don't work with these copy program.

And a day I read one guy who try Alcohol 120%.

Man I say must not work cause this name of the program is like not really serious.

BIG mistake from me man !!!
Kick my butts !

YES ALCOHOL IS SOOOOOOOOO COOL !!!!
It's work man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOUPI !!!!!!!!!!!

Now I can not only have a copy of my (buy) CDs of Generals but also I can have work copy of my (buy) CDs of Renegade.

(Just I don't like use original CDs).

Listen.
I use a small program (ClonyXXL -version 2.0.1.0) to know what kind of protection Generals and Renegade have.

I use too another small program - Profiler version 1.1 to have "Profile" for Clone CD.

But like you know I can't have work copy with CloneCD.

So I use just information I received from ClonyXXL (information from Profiler was just good to CloneCD so I forget it). Here what I received:

Command & Conquer Renegade:
Disc 1- Safedisc v2.51
Disc 2- Safedisc v2.51

Command & Conquer Generals:
Disc 1- Safedisc v2.8
Disc 2- Dummyfiles


So I use Trial version of Alcohol 120% I find on internet
(http://www.alcohol-software.com/download.php) with
Datatype: SafeDisc2 for all these four (4) CDs.

And all work good for me.

YES !!!!
:-P

My burner is :
LG Electronics Inc.
CD-/R/RW Drive
Model: GCE-8520B

But I think all recent burner (last 2 years probably) can work.

I hope you will find that useful.

Have nice day !!!

Just to add to this thread. I backed up Generals with CloneCD 4.2.0.2 on my LTR-52246S using a profile posted here. It installed from the backup, but I am unable to play from it. I will try the alcohol method I suppose...
