It turns out that many gamers are wondering how to make copies of their XBOX games. We know, because we’ve been getting lots of inquiries about this subject recently. Many gamers are accustomed to making copies of music CDs, but don’t know the first thing about how to make copies of their games.
Today, we’ll explain just how you can copy XBOX games. First, we need to clarify an important point.
Our goal in writing this article is not for people to make illegal copies of XBOX games. What we are trying to accomplish is to show you how to make backups of your own games. This is a perfectly legal and legitimate way of protecting your games in case of accidental damage.
Let’s get started. And don’t you fret - we won’t be spouting a lot of highly complex technical jargon. What we will do is present a very simple procedure to follow.
In case you’re wondering why you can’t just use the same CD burning software that is already on your computer to burn copies of your games, the reason is simple.
This is because XBOX games can only be copied using a specially designed software program.
As it happens, most all game discs are encoded with a kind of copyright protection. This encoded information keeps your computer from being able to decipher and copy the information on the disc - unless you have the help of a special program installed on your computer. Without this program, you computer won’t be able to make a copy of the game.
A handful of companies have created computer programs designed specifically for making backup copies of your games. After installing the program on your computer, you will be able to override the copyright protections on the disc to make copies of your XBOX games.
After you complete the downloading and installation of the right program to your computer, the rest is a cake walk. The program will do all of the work for you. Just put the game in the disc drive, let your computer copy it to your hard drive, then insert a bland DVD-R disc and wait until your computer transfers the information to the clean disc.
It may seem almost too simple to be true, but that really is all it takes to copy your XBOX games. So simple even a chimp could do it…
One last word of advice - make sure not to pay too much for this kind of software. I have seen programs costing in excess of $100 - there’s no reason you should have to pay that much. As it happens, the highest ranked program only costs about $30 or $40. Even though some companies use catchy marketing ploys to get you to buy their version, you won’t get better quality by spending more.
This method describes the easiest way to copy XBOX games on your computer. It’s simple, and a perfect way to create back up copies of all your game discs. Happy copying!
