I'm new to PC game backups, so this threw me a curve. I've backed up a lot of PS2 games and DVD movies, but never ran across this problem. I copied Dead Man's Hand and that went fine. When I tried to boot up the backup it sit there a while, then it said something like a backup copy won't work, please insert the original. Last PC game I backed up was Serious Sam, which copied no problems. How do I get around this problem with Dead Man's Hand?
What's the protection on the game? (goto http://downloads.aray-software.com/arayscanner.php and grab A-RAY protection scanner to check). What make/model is the drive?
Well... gonna need a version number on the SecurROM but here something to point you in the right direction (using Alcohol120) http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/43802 (using CloneCD) http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/26771
