I just bought Unreal Tournament 2k4 today, i installed it and everything went smoothly, now i wanna burn the play disc so the original doesnt get to scratched up etc. since i leave my discs in the drive because of lazyness and some of you guys know how picky i am about my stuff. Anyways, i made an image of the play disc with alcohol 120% and burned the image onto a cd-rw just incase if something like this happened, when i put the finished burned play disc in, it says NEEDS EMULATION (view screenshot) help wuld be appreciated, thx!
This is borderline in the grey area, which is riduculous b/c I wish I would have made a backup of c&c general's b/c my play disc got badly scratched and will not install the game.
You have to setup a 'virtual drive' in alcohol 120% and mount the image to the virtual drive. This is basically tricking the computer that the 'virtual drive' although uses your hd is a cd-rom.
If you burned the CD correctly, taking into account the right type of copy protection that is on that cd, and you get the "NEEDS EMULATION" label, it means that you need to enable RMPS (Recordable Media Physical Signature) Emulation
I wish I backed up all my games in the past, although I have managed to keep most of mine in good condition. I had a bum disc2 in my Diablo 2 box, wouldn't install, so had to copy a friends. Never did get around to returning it....

Ok i erased the cd, and burned it again with the RMPS option checked. Again.... it still says NEEDS EMULATION. And if i do mount it to my drive, does it take up anymore harddrive space?
To mount CD into your virtual drive you don't need to burn image on CD. All you need is just the image of the CD(which will take space on your hard drive) when you got your image on your hard drive simply open it in Alcohol120% and mount it to your virtual drive.
