RSS Feed (xml)Original Xbox 360 games cost a lot of money, around $60 each. Well it's not that much but considering that you will eventually scratch the disc or do other accidental but fatal damage to it so that you won't be able to play anymore, it's expensive.
If you have ever tried to copy an original Xbox 360 game DVD with your PC or Mac then you should know - and probably that's exactly why you're here - that it's simply not possible with regular burning software. If you don't believe me for some reason, go on and try it with a casual DVD writing program and you'll see that it fails. Microsoft introduced a copy protection system that was very hard to crack, and although there were solutions, they were difficult to complete and mostly annoying. And I won't even begin discussing other console systems like the PlayStation 3, etc.
The good news is that the era of hot-swap game backup is finally over. With modern software it is possible to make backups of your original games with a few clicks with the mouse, just like with any other popular regular CD or DVD burners. Before, if you put a console game disc into your computer's reader device you couldn't see anything that was because the aforementioned copyright protection. So you had to find a way to make your PC recognize the contents of that particular DVD in order to copy it. Finally your search is over, as there are three easy steps you have to do in order to backup your Xbox 360 games:
- Insert the game into your PC's DVD drive, then it will make an ISO image file of it.
- After it's finished with the ISO, insert a blank DVD you'd like to write to.
- Wait until it finishes and there you have your instant game backup!
The software I'm currently using is capable of making copies of Xbox 360, Xbox, PS3, PS2, Nintendo Wii, Gamecube, PC, Dreamcast games, DVD movies and series and as an extra: it makes DVD videos of your DivX, Xvid, MP4 and other formats!
