Need help on backups.

I want to make backups of my cd-i games I have. I wanted to know if I make a copy in nero will it play in my cd-i system?

I'm not sure if Nero will copy a CD-i disc at all, as it normally refuses to accept discs with a custom filesystem (I would use CDRWin instead). Apart from that, there should be no problems as long as you burn the disc with low speed. Though there are a few games in CD-i Ready format, which you probably can't copy at all, but this is only a handful of games.

Most CD-i Ready discs can be copied using CloneCD. Sometimes small errors still occur, but I've never had a non-working copy from CloneCD.

Nero works fine creating images of other CD-i discs. Also Discjuggler is a great option.

The most significant CD-i Ready discs are those from the Vision Factory (SPC Vision): The Apprentice, Dimo's Quest, Lucky Luke, Steel Machine, Alien Gate, Accelerator, ...

Yep, though the problem is whether his CD/DVD drive is capable of reading CD-i Ready discs correctly. It's not that much a question of the software you use; if your drive can't handle the discs, even CloneCD will fail.

Thats a pretty valid point ... then again I found my drives couldn't handle the CD-i filesystem untill i downloaded it.

I'm not sure if you can tell sources are trustfull or not. Loads may not have been tested, they can be corrupt or otherwise they work fine. Just try it, scan for viruses and nothing bad can happen...

If it doesn't work, try a different source file.
