Mmmmmmmmm......
I'm new to all this backing up lark, but I've managed to back up most of my pc games (safedisc and securom etc).
I need to know if I can and how I can back up Metal Gear Solid 2. It's dvd-rom and when I try read with blindwrite it says it's too big ( 7.48 GB ?!?!?!)
I'm dumping the image now with alcohol 120% but if that works will I have to extract the .bwa and then use twinpeak, and if so how the hell will it fit on a disc? Can I burn onto DVD? (still not enough room?)
I once again find myself as lost as I was when I made my first ten 'coasters'
Help me please

you can give A-Ray Scanner a go to find out the protection. I haven't read anything on backing up this title tho :(

Thanks but that doesn't show me what protection it has either.
I looked on the disc and it has SONY DADC written on the inner ring, is this loosely related to securom?
I'm pretty sure it is DVD 9 now, and have since tried creating image with DVD Decryptor, but I get a read error at 49% and it won't proceed any further.
Anyone help?
Am I on the right track?

I've done a bit of research and MGS2 is indeed a dual-layer DVD meaning that unless you have a dual-layer DVD burner it can't be backed up.

Cheers to you Nephilim, stopped me spending another 2 days trying to back the bloody thing up!!
Still like to know if I could run it from the virtual drive in Alcohol if I managed to burn the image correctly?

It's well worth a shot. If Alcohol's virtual drive doesn't do the trick you might give Daemon Tools a try :)

When I googled Sony DADC I got hits referring to SecuRom so you may try settings for that when you extract the image.
