Help burning Empire Earth.

[ccmarci]

I want to do a copy of Empire Earth but it has got a cd check. Is there any way of burning a copy so the game recognizes it as the original? If not, is there a way to read the image and replace the .exe with a no-cd .exe and then burn it to disc?

[celtic_druid]

From what I remember it is protected with Securom, so just read and write the subchannel data and don't play it in a CDRW drive unless you have something like Clone CD's hide CDR function enabled.

You might want to varify the protecion used though.

I copied it no worries but it has got cd check and asks for the original disc when you go to play it.

[celtic_druid]

If it won't load, then you have not "copied it no worries". If your burner does not support RAW DAO or you do not have a drive that can read subchannel data, then you will have to used a cracked EXE.

My burner does support RAW DAO and does read the subchannel data. So clonecd should do a full working backup?

[celtic_druid]

Yes, worked for me.
