I have discovered a new way to make back-up copies of
STAR WARS Episode 1 Racer & STAR WARS Episode 1 The phantom menace
My version of the games is french but I think the tip should work for all version
The tip is to ?replace? the unreadable sectors with other from another CD
Copy sector from CD before unreadable sectors
Copy then sectors from another CD : they replace the unreadable sectors (must be the same number)
Copy sectors after unreadable sectors
Here the way to copy STAR WARS Episode 1 Racer
version French
Name racer100_0
Size 75:54:09 (3 tracks : data, audio, data)
Protection illegal TOC, oversize & unreadable sectors
CD writer HP 8100i
Software Nero 4 and CDRwin 3
CD arita 80min
nice protection with big files, illegal TOC, oversize & 70M of unreadable sectors!
A sollution was to make a back up but it takes so long time
so here a new quicker way to bypass the protection...
with Nero's options "view track" and "save track", you can see where exactly
the unredable sectors begin / end, where tracks begins / end.
note all of that
my FRENCH version is like that (must verify for other versions)
00000 ---> 43999
44000 ---> 79999 = unreadable sectors
80000 ---> 339210
75:26:61 ---> 75:38:35 = track 2 (audio)
fake track 3 (data) is not needed
go to CDRwin "extract disc/tracks/sectors"
choose "extract sectors"
option
data type = data mode 1 RAW (2352) and audio 2352 for the second audio track)
error recovery = abort
jitter correction = auto
now you can start, type the image filename and the start & end
racer1.bin | extract sectors 0 -> 43999 from Racer CD
racer2.bin | extract sectors 44000 -> 79999 from another CD (I use tomb raider 3 CD)
racer2.bin | extract sectors 80000 -> 339210 from Racer CD
track2.bin | extract audio 75:26:61 -> 75:38:35 from Racer CD
the third track is not needed
I keep the second track 'cause it's not an empty track like the third
then build a cuesheet (with the pad) and use this
FILE "C:CDRWIN3RACER1.BIN" BINARY --> come from racer CD
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "C:CDRWIN3RACER2.BIN" BINARY --> come from Tomb raider 3 CD
TRACK 02 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "C:CDRWIN3RACER3.BIN" BINARY --> come from racer CD
TRACK 03 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
POSTGAP 00:02:00
FILE "C:CDRWIN3TRACK2.BIN" WAVE --> come from racer CD (second track)
TRACK 04 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00
don't worry about the number of tracks
load the cuesheet and burn (maybe a 80 min)
results
it seems to be long to explain but it take less than an hour
you fuck up the unreadable sectors : they are replaced by the sectors of TR3
the sectors of TR3 don't appear on final CD
the program think it's the orignal CD because - all the files are on a right place
- it doesn't matter for the TR3 sectors
- the "big" files are well reproduced
- the CD is well finalized and have the right name
now you can play that funny game
you can make another back up copy from this CD, there's no problem
Here the way to copy STAR WARS Episode 1
version French
Name lamenacefan
Size 76:47:60 (3 tracks : data, audio, data)
Protection illegal TOC, oversize & unreadable sectors
CD writer HP 8100i
Software Nero 4 and CDRwin 3
CD arita 80min
About 36M of unreadable sectors
with Nero's options "view track" and "save track", you can see where exactly
the unredable sectors begin / end, where tracks begins / end.
note all of that
my FRENCH version is like that (must verify for other versions)
00000 ---> 99999
100000 ---> 115999 = unreadable sectors
116000 ---> 344410
76:36:11 --> 76:47:60 = track 2 (audio)
the fake third data is not needed
go to CDRwin "extract disc/tracks/sectors"
choose "extract sectors"
option
data type = data mode 1 RAW (2352) and audio 2352 for the second audio track)
error recovery = abort
jitter correction = auto
now you can start, type the image filename and the start & end
fantom1.bin | extract sectors 0 -> 99999 from Fantom CD
fantom2.bin | extract sectors 100000 -> 115999 from another CD (I use tomb raider 3 CD)
fantom3.bin | extract sectors 116000 -> 344410 from Fantom CD
track2.bin | extract audio 76 :36 :11 -> 76 :47 :60 from Fantom CD
the third track is not needed
I keep the second track 'cause it's not an empty track like the third
then build a cuesheet (with the pad) and use this
FILE "C:CDRWIN3FANTOM1.BIN" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "C:CDRWIN3FANTOM2.BIN" BINARY
TRACK 02 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "C:CDRWIN3FANTOM3.BIN" BINARY
TRACK 03 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
POSTGAP 00:02:00
FILE "C:CDRWIN3TRACK2.BIN" WAVE
TRACK 04 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00
don't worry about the number of tracks
load the cuesheet and burn (maybe a 80 min)
the results are exactly the same as the results of Star Wars episode 1 Racer

That?s all
Thank you for reading
With this tip the CD can be quickly copied. I think all recorder can do the job.
I hope you will find this tip cool and hope you will add this to GameCopyWorld
Long life to Gamecopyworld.com !
