Hi all,

I'm trying to make an image of my D2 CD so I don't have to use the disv
itself all the time, but I have run into a problem with CloneCD - Do I
choose "game CD" or "protected PC game" when it asks what kind of disc I
want to make? How do I know if it has any protections?

TIA

I can't help with the CloneCD part, never having used it, but the CD
*does* have all kinds of copy-protections on it, if that helps.

I tried it, and it seems to work if I mount the .ccd file instead of the
..cue file. Thanks m8 :)

Yeah, what he said. Generally, any newer game (or even if you're just not
sure) just select Protected Game CD to be on the safe side. If it doesn't
work, all you have to do is delete and re-image. Too easy. I use CloneCD for
all of my games, mainly due to laziness. CBF getting whatever I feel like
playing out of the box, then the cd case, then loading etc.More mess to my
desk. Anyway I'm dribbling. Bottom line, Protected. I have it like that and
it works fine :)
