RCT2 Burnable? - CoasterBuzz

Has anyone burned or tried to burn RCT2? I have no CD-rs so I can't try.

I tried it with Loopy Landscapes it will burn, but when you download it, the game wont work.

i have heard that it is not burnable, but seeing as how i'm a law abiding citizen who has never and will never violate copyright infringement laws, i guess i'll never know

Exactly. That's called Software Piracy. The games manufacturers have taken more than necessary precautions to protect themselves from this.

Some of us actually burn a copy to use. As cd's do get damaged. If you have a child like I do you can go through them like crazy. Shall I go to prison?

Actually, I'm almost certain that it is *not* illegal to make one copy of a CD so that the original can be kept for back-up purposes... so get down off your mighty horses people.

I burn copies of stuff I've legally bought my self as I tend to wear out cds after a while so I can have an available copy. I've actually had success burning the game.

you can burn it, but it won't work. there's something that you have to do to get it to work. I don't know what that is, though, because I gave it to my friend to fix.

uh oh, sounds like someone has a case of the mondays.

It is legal to make a copy for the purpose for back up. There is no law against making 1 back up for a game. My LL CD got scratched but the back up came in handy. In fact I had talk to former FBI agents about this and they told me its perfectly legal.

I would like to know how to burn a copy of it. I don't want to shell out another $30 when (notice I said "when" not "if") the original becomes scratched and unusable. For the amount of time I spend playing the game, it's going to happen eventually. Right now I have a nice Memorex coaster from a failed burn attempt.

RCT2 is not burnable. I have tried to burn my own back-up copy with the standard burning software, and with Clone CD (which makes a 1-1 copy of the CD). They are using a new type of copywrite protection on the CD. Give it time, sooner or later someone will figure out how to get around this copywrite protection and you shall be able to have your own legal back up copy.

It's very much burnable, I know, Ive burned myself a backup that works, what seems to be stopping you guys from burning it?

So then share with us what software you used.

I tried to burn it for my bro but it didn't work. Considering the fact that I've spend over $200 on rebuying RCT cds because they were cracked, scratched, lost ect. they have plenty of my money.

As the coasters get bigger so do the queue lines

I burned a back-up. Its easy. Just copy all the files to the HD off of the CD then just burn them onto a blank CD. Works for me.

If you have a large enough hard drive and can find a copy of virtual cd from symantec, you can acually make a virtual copy of the cd on your harddrive, and then install RCT2 from that image rather than using the cd. Now I have done this with the original and gold additions of RCT and it worked, and I also have copied cd to cd/r with an 8x burner and a 2x dvd rom. I do not know if the V-CD will work with RCT2 or not, I will find that out after I purchase a 120GB drive so I can burn images of all of my install software/games on that drive....

Nero.

I also used NERO when I did the first try at burning RCT.

Once you have the game installed, there is a way to play the game without the CD. There is a site full of No-CD Openers, but I won't list the site because I don't want to get in trouble, and if I won't, then just say so Jeff, and I'll post the link. In fact, I just checked and they have one for RCT2...
