Age of Empires II: Age of Kings -- Can't figure out how to make image...

[blyndPyro]

I'm using Alcohol 120%, and even though I select the Safedisc datatype, I cannot copy it, it just gives me the constant error messages. I know I'm still a newbie, but I just can't find out what I'm doing wrong.. help please?

Age Of Empires 2 should be very simple to copy using todays software. What error message do you get?

CloneCD can handle this protection, but Alcohol 120% should too.

I got the simple

"Read data examination error at: (increasing number)"

for a long time, but I simply stuck it out and it eventually skipped those errors and the game copied fine. But just to understand it, is that normal when copying games, to see that message? If so, should I be able to stick it out most of the time for it to work like I did here?

Did you let the image process finish?

Read Errors are normal for SafeDisc protected games. That is part of the way the protection scheme works. Let the image making complete and test it by mounting the image in Daemon-Tools and turning on SafeDisc Emulation.
