Going by the number of questions we've seen coming in from our readers, there is a lot of interest in copying Xbox games. We all make copies of music CDs all the time - but is it possible to copy Xbox game discs the same way? If this can be done, how do you go about it? We're going to tell you how to do this easily so that you can start copying Xbox games. There is one thing that we need to tell you beforehand though. We are not endorsing the illegal copying of Xbox games (meaning ones which you do not own). What we're going to show you is meant to be used to make backup copies of your own Xbox games, which is perfectly legal and gives you a backup copy of your games in the event that one of your discs is damaged or lost. So without further ado, let's go into how to backup your Xbox games. It's not complicated, so you ca put your notebook away - it's very simple to start copying Xbox games. You might be asking why you can copy Xbox games with the same software that you would use to make copies of audio discs. The short answer is that copying Xbox games takes some technologies which your existing CD burning program doesn't have. Modern video game discs (including Xbox games) are copy protected; so unless you have the right program installed, your computer will be unable to read the disc. If you can't read the data on the disc, you aren't going to be able to make a copy of it. Thankfully, software has been developed to get around this encryption and make copies of video game discs. Once you've installed the software, you'll be able to read those discs - so you can start copying Xbox games. When you've downloaded and installed this program, there's really nothing to it. You place the game disc in your optical drive, your computer will read the disc and create a disc image; then all you have to do is to put a blank DVD-R in the drive and your computer will copy the game to disc. It's so simple that literally anyone can do it. Remember that you don't need to pay a lot of money for these programs. In fact, the best ones around are between $30-$40, but some companies will charge over $100! While you can pay as much as you want, you won't get better software just because you pay more. This software gives you a simple way to start copying Xbox games. It's easy enough for anyone to do and you can protect your game library by making backups of all your games.
