Your comments are a bit rude and I'm half tempted to take you out of your misery and I mean that in a polite way so next time you post be more courteous to forum members.

Though I may be wrong, I don't believe your LG is EFM capable so your options are going to be either making a mini image as per the thread I linked to earlier or to use A120's emulation options. I've never used the emulation options in A120 so I'm afraid I can't be of much use there but either Shoey or geestar20 can tell you exactly what you need to do :)

Somehow I missed your last post until now and that was the last draw for me. I've warned you several times in the past for linking to cracks and now that you decided to belittle a member who did nothing to you you're stay here is over.

If you have anything less than a 1:1 copy you'll need CloneCD installed to help it run.

Okay, I'm one lazy newbie. Not really lazy, just have to teach my 80 yr. old mom how to do this stuff, and she's not multi-step friendly. :) I love anydvd and am using it with dvdxcopy from the late 321. Yes, I know it's time to move on, but as long as it works, I'm not fixing it. I would buy a new program that would work with movies for mom and back up my pc games before the rugrats mess them up or lose them. I've read, and read, and read some more, and I think Alcohol120 would work. Have I read this correctly?
My other concern is that I need to control the speed of the burner through the program and my tdk1280b will burn at 12x. When I used 8x discs my dvd players wouldn't read the movies. I was using DVDXPlatinum, but since I can't get the speed under control, I requested a refund after several customer service helps.
Thanks for your patience.

FINALLY. I have succeeded in backing up Tbe Sims 2 DVD.
Thanks to all of you, and 3 wasted dvd blanks. No Luck with CloneCCD 5
What I did was:
Make an image with A120. Mounted the image to a Virtual Drive woth Deamon Tools, although you can do the same with A120, Installed from that. Ran fine.
I now have a DVD with it on, but I see I need to make a data DVD with the image, that way I can install from the image, and then mount it after copying it to the HDD
Thanks again

I have made backups for my sims 2 discs 1-4 (not dvd version) and university (2 discs). When I install the sims 2 first, everythings great. Then when I install the university pack everything goes fine until after it installs and says "Now the sims will update to make sure everythings up to date" "Please insert disc 4" I insert disc 4 and it DOESNT detect it and keeps asking me. When I click cancel for the patch it uninstalls university. Ive made it work before but I cant remember how!!! Some one who is super smart out there, help me with this!

Hi! I have downloaded Alcohol 120, and I'm currently making an image of Sims 2. Does Alcohol BURN sims 2, or make a copy of the CD to a chosen place/suitcase on the harddrive? I'm a true newbie to burning copy-protected CD's, and all these posts just make me confused... What kind of image format is required for Sims 2 to work?...
-If you answer me I will be forever grateful to you!!-

Hi Merenwen
As I said above, this is what I did.
Made a 1:1 copy with A120, it installed fine, but would not run.
I then made an A120 image on my HDD, mounted it with Daemon Tools, set the emulation in DT to Safedisc, and it runs.
What you wnat to do, is make an image with A120, copy that to a DVDR as a data file. Mount it with A120, and you can install it. To play the game, just mount the image with A120 from the DVDR, and run the game. In short, any 1:1 burn as a duplicate of the game will install, but to run, you need an A120 image mounted. You can mount it to DT or the A120 virtual drive.
Out of interest, if it is mounted, I acnot start the PC (XP Pro).Before I wiped my PC (!!!), I started XP in safe mode and unmounted the imnage, and it was fine. Is there a fix for that?

Don't be so quick! A successful copy of SafeDisc 3.20.022 takes the right burner, the right software and the right settings.
Before I can help I still need the exact model number for your Memorex drive as well as the software and settings that you used to make the copy.

I HAVE A WORKIMG SIMS 2 DVD BACKUP, BUT... Its made with A120 image mounted to Daemon Tools. I need it on a PC with no DVD drive. I can copy the image to that PC, but it won;t run, as there is no DVD drive. Can this be worked around?

well you could just copy the image to the other pc using a LAN. or you may be able to split the dvd image and burn them onto multiple cds, but don't ask me how to do that.
i'd do the LAN thingy

well you don't need ANY drive in the pc as you are just going to mount the game into a virtual drive created by daemon tools
