Issues backing up my DC games*Weird Fix*
<< < (2/3) > >>
Superchop:
I remember I needed to get a specific plug in for imgburn to burn cdi images.  but if you burned any other games then maybe that's not the reason...

What specific game are you trying to backup?

I don't think it's really the laser either if every other game is working besides that one.

You can't directly copy a DC game from a pc's cdrom drive. You'll only get a couple of cdda tracks. You'll need an sd adapter or bba, then you need to fight copy protections and/or possibly down sample audio or video. Sort the files and create images (doesn't downloading them sound so much easier at this point?).

As far as burning you can try Alcohol 120% also. Never had an issue, demo is perfect because it forces the slowest speed which is suggested for these games.

Thanks for the support guys, few notes from the past 5 hours of working on this, I've been able to play burned games on this DC using IMGburn I've made about 20 or so games thus far no issues, I've DL'd a couple of games that I've had since I bought them new - they are just scratched to all hell. The game I'm having an issue with is Evolution for DC, from the ReviveDC team; I've downloaded the second one aswell and burned it with no issue - I've been using Sony, Verbatim, and Memorex CDR's. And I've adjusted the laser and it's reading my other backup's great. Just can't seem to burn Evolution, over 36k+ downloads all great comments saying no issues with burning, I've used 4 different burners all at various speed. This game just hates me  ;D

Are you using a vga box or vga cables?  If I remember correctly that was one of the few games that wasn't compatible with vga mode and you needed to use the composite cables.  I'll double check though

--edit--

Never mind...game is compatible but I could've sworn I had a similar issue with it :/

Don't judge me when I say this, but I'm actually using an old RF adapter that I used to have when I had it as a kid. And yes it does look terrible.
