with my DVD-RW disk

anyways to prove the point

i did a backup copy of quake 4 with rtms on and it didnt work (with alcohol)

then i erased the disk and made a backup copy of quake 4 again with (5star) on that same dvd-rw disk

and with emulation it works perfectly.

the alcohol backup i also tried emulating with 5star and it didnt work.

clearly 5star is much better for making backup dvd's

though alcohol is better for using images

You answered yourself there, Alcohol tries to backup the entire disc, 5star does the same, but uses software emulation so you see it doesnt backup the game 100%.

Try your backup without 5star, does it work? course not.

All 5star is, is A120% and DT and VirtualCD(or similar) rolled into one, that is all.


EDIT: I see TippeX answered that already :P

@simmabuh

Does anybody have a working mini image for BF2142?

It has been well and truly established that BF2142 will NOT work with a mini image! Not yet anyway. You need to use a 'full' image.

Hey guys, I have been searching for an image of some sort but had no luck (And wondered why) This topic has answered my question of mini images not working but I have a problem - Basically, I dont have a drive that can read DvDs so I install all my games over the network off my brothers computer. This means that I need to find no-cd patches/images for every game I play pretty much. Is there any way I could make a full image over the network or something like that...Im able to access the DVD files so I could copy everything BF2142 needs to startup onto my computer if needed. Also, can anyone point me in the direction of guides on how to make a full image?

you could try the starwind thing in daemon tools, but well, you'd probably have less headaches if you went out and bought a dvd drive.. they aren't too expensive these days...

[Powerfox]

Well im planning to get one soon...Also, I have no knowledge of how to make an image, only how to mount them so I dont understand what you mean by using Starwind. Also, I just had a look and I dont see anything called starwind

Oh, I thought it was a part of DT, didnt know it was a seperate program.
