[omega007 0]

Before flaming this is for a legal backup, if i didnt had the original why would i need this help.

I ve use Blindwrite And Clone CD to make my legal backup cuz i dont want to screw my originals but no success it always ask for the cd when i copy it, this is the first game i havent been able to backup with blindwrite, any help plz.

i want to keep my originals safe.

i only need to do this with disk one because is the play disk

Easy, use Clony XL (Or Clony XXL for XP/2K)

Clony will scan your disk, and save the settings needed for a perfect copy into CloneCD. Then simply burn it! You may get read errors in CloneCD while reading/burning but this is perfectly normal.

I copied my OFP disk, and now I use my backup to play with. It's a wise choice, as I've already hads to send my Resistance disk back to CM for a replacement and it took two bloody weeks!

(Newer versions of Clony will not export the settings to CloneCD. You will need to get a slightly older copy to get it to work, or enter all the changes manually into CloneCD)

I really don't think we should be telling people how to copy discs here. Anyone can come on and claim to want a legal copy so it's garbage to believe that and post a response. I have over 70 games and probably over 125 game CDs and I've never had a problem with one yet. So unless you're playing frisbee with them you don't need a backup. Plus, I don't know about BIS but if you really do screw up your CD most game companies will replace it for a minimal cost if you send in the original.

Clone CD, bah, that thing is crapola.

EDIT: Yeah, discussing this here is definately not right.

Let me see. To give a copy to a friend? To give a copy to your girlfriend? To keep the copy and sell the original on eBay? I could list a lot more, but just the fact that you can't figure this out seems to question your motives.

Or the original isn't yours, or you don't really have the original and you want to make a copy of a copy...

Wasn't a thread identical to this already closed yesterday? You might wanna take a hint...

My 2 cents: legitimate backup's and no-CD patches for personal use when you own a legal copy aren't warez, but it has been established in the past that the moderators of this board don't agree. If you keep posting topics like this you are likely to get banned - just a warning.

Exactly

To prevent problems with the disc surfaces if you play too much and have an ageing CD drive , you can use the nocd if you own a legal copy no need to make a back up of the OFP CD, most of the people that play OFP use it without problem and can keep their CD safe (and use it only for reinstall after that) .

If you use it on an illegal copy , you will certainly have problem with the FADE so i dont actually see the problem some people have with nocd, as far as i know it is not something to circumvent FADE protection.

And to thanks BIS for this incredible game, people must buy it , it worthes any dollar, euro , credit , sesterces , florins , crowns, louis d'or you will spend.

You can find it cheap nowadays , so shame on people that warez it

But i think we will see LOCKED or Closing sooner or later

This needs to be locked! Now, who's the hotshot to do it.
