I recently ran across this software on the web and gave it a try. I have several games that I want to backup and play without having to load CDs all the time. I'm using VirtualDrive by Slysoft as well to accomplish this. Have had great success so far... but I ran across one today that has me kind of puzzled.
I used my backup to install a game that I play called 'The Movies.' It's a 3CD set that I have made images using the 'Protected PC Game' option in CloneCD. The install goes fine, however, when I get ready to play... it asks me to please insert the CD. The correct CD IS inserted in the virtual drive.
I read that there are a few types of protection that CloneCD has a hard time doing. How can I find out which one it uses? I'd really like to play without always having to load the discs in the machine (and the virtual drive program is GREAT for that... I can even compile games that are several CDs onto on DVD to avoid disc swapping when I install.. it's great!)
Anyone have any ideas on this? I suppose I could burn the image out to a CD and try it that way, but I really like the idea of not having to use a disc. (Plus, why waste a CD when I have the original on hand to being with.)
