I am at The Museum. The part where there is a door after the beams. I can't find a key for it and it won't open -____-; [and why they hell do they shoot at me when I am just simply trying to enjoy l'art?]

I have DAEMON tools, it is really just the ripping part I'm having problems with. I want to virtulize Redemption & Bloodlines [and possibly other games]. My CD drive has almost had it, and my DVD/CD drive plays Bloodlines so slow (and I have a fear of scratching the disk because I fail). I'll try looking for a program, but most of what I find is for audio or dvds. I'll get back to you when I need help with the setup logs :P

Both Redemption and Bloodlines are copyright protected and my own ripper won't rip either of them; Bloodlines ripped on one of my dad's laptops with an older ripping program. Bloodlines is encrypted with SafeDisc version 3.20.022; I'm not sure about Redemption. (You can look up the security on different games here (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/gamedb.php).)

As for ripping programs, Daemon tools' recommendations are here (http://www.daemon-help.com/copy_disc_lite/creating_disc_image_lite.html); none of the programs are free, but some have trial versions. For free software, MagicDisc (http://www.download.com/MagicDisc/3000-7970_4-10383679.html) sounds like it might work.

Your best bet is probably to look at Daemon tools own support forums for copying questions here (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/f5/). From what I've skimmed over, Alcohol (one of the rippers recced by Daemon as linked to above) seems to be the most used.

Do you have any CD/DVD copying/burning programs installed? You could also check those to see if they have a ripping option; it probably won't matter for Bloodlines and other copy-protected games, but might work for older ones.

I got Redemption ripped (had no problem with it really o_o), but haven't found anything for Bloodlines ;_;

I'll look into those someday, thanks!

I have Nero6, and it can copy disks, so I'll have to look into getting a blank CD-R and trying it.

Thanks again for the help babes (and the research :P)!

Huh. Maybe I should try ripping Redemption again . . .

Any time. ^^

Edit: To clarify, you don't need a blank CD since you're ripping from a CD and saving it to your hard drive. With Roxio, you can right-click on a CD in your disc drive and click 'copy CD'. There is an option to copy it to another CD, but there should also be an option to save it as an *.iso/*.bin/*.cue. I'd recommend *.iso; it tends to mount with the least hassle.
