Hi there, I am having problems burning a game (NFSMW), When I put in my game (it's the usual >ISO>READ using DVD decrypter) When im done, this is what I get two files... a MDS, and a... [BOLD]WINRAR ARCHIVE![/BOLD] i then burnt the two files into a DVD-R (not +) and it didn't work! GRRR what a waste of a RITEK 8+!! Could somebody help me out? I need to know how to fully get rid of winrar or a way of backing up games with winrar archive files!

Thanks, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

The 2 files you got were actually an mds and an iso file... it's just that you have the iso extension associated with winrar.
All you have to do is go to mode iso write with dvd decrypter and select EITHER the mds or the iso file to burn, and burn at 4x on good 8x dvd-r media.
It sounds as if you burnt a data when you did it before, it's not possible to burn both the mds and the iso file to disc when you use the proper program.

good luck with it.

[edit] I think NFS MW, needs to be rebuilt to work. There's a huge thread on it somewhere..use the search feature to look for it and then read it... it should tell you what you need to do to get this game to backup properly.
