I’ve been using CDClone to (lawfully) burn images and CCDs of all my games to my hard drive and **Daemon **to read/play the games using the mounted volume. It’s quicker and it saves me from having to keep track of my CDs and change them out if I decide to play something else.
Anyway, it’s been working just fine for some time, until now. I bought Vice City Tuesday and set everything up the same as always- no joy.
Anyone have any experience with this?
So, I guess that’d be a no?
For the record, and a sesne of closure: NO-CD key did the trick.
The library consortium I work in recommends Virtual CD (http://www.virtualcd-online.com/) and it works very well. I have educational games and encyclopedias loaded on about 20 computers and they run it just fine (we have licenses for all of these CDs by the way 
)
oops, sorry, I posted before I saw your last message. I’m glad you got it up and running.
Daemon Tools’ virtual cd is a program that can remove copy protections from games that have the following copy protections: SafeDisc, Securom, Laserlok (or Lockblocks, etc.), and RMPS. Do a google search on any of these if you want to know more. Grand Theft Auto Vice City uses a new copy protection that, as far as I know, is only disabled with an accurately written RMPS image (CloneCD cannot yet make these). Basically, the cd was written with physical deformities and the program measures the delay in reading some of these deformed sectors to make sure that they are deformed. Alcohol 110% will get Vice City to work because it records these delay times and simulates them, but the program costs money. As far as I know, though, that will fix your problem.
