I gotta said I am impressed. True 1 to 1 copy (bypass most if not all protection). Burn all images, I am swinging over to Alcohol 120% compare to Nero.

Alcohol 120% is probably kickarse, since there are reports of it being able to copy the latest protections such as SafeDisc 2.8 and the new Securom (in UT2003)

oh darn, ID check it out but it cost money...to broke to buy it..*cough cough pm me someone*..lol

You can evaluate the software first before you buy here.

Test it out.

Worth an effort.

Do you have to have the original CD in the PC ?

Nope. Exactly copy. Most game can't even tell if it a CDR or Retail copy. 1 to 1.

nice. i'll try to backup my copy of UT2003.
