How To Copy Xbox Games With Some Mouse Clicks

By Dan Goldberg

Have you ever had a Xbox game that you wanted to play, only to be stopped by lost discs, broken discs or disc read errors? It happens more often than you think, and lots of people wish they had a copy of their games so they wont have to waste time and effort finding a brand new copy that they might lose again.

A lot of gamers have a huge library of Xbox games that would cost hundreds or even thousand of dollars to be replaced. Some o fthese copies might even be more valuable, because they are rare or hard to find games. However, there is a way to copy Xbox games. In this way you make sure that there is always a backup copy in case one of the baove problems occurs.

There are many ways to copy Xbox games, but they all require a lot of time and effort on the part of the gamer. The biggest stumbling block when copying Xbox games involves copyright protection. Copyright protection measures prevent gamers from making copies of Xbox games through the normal method of burning a CD or DVD.

The Xbox protection measures prevents standard disc burning software from making proper copies of Xbox games. This is why gamers need to look for alternative software to bypass the copyright protection. Additionally a special disc is required. This special disc is recognized by Xbox's internal software as being legitimate original games. This is why you need a special game copy software to make working backup copies of your games.

Another thing you need to do to get copied Xbox games to play properly on your console is modifying your Xbox. However, modifying your console is not that difficult. It is either done by installing a special chip inside the console or by flashing the original BIOS with modified software. The software flash results in the console disregarding the regular copyright protection check. In this way the Xbox system cannot determine if you inserted an original disc or a copied disc.

Of course you can find very good Xbox game copy software on the internet. Be careful which software you download. All free Xbox game copy software I came across was infected by malware and viruses. The best you can do is look for a Xbox game copy software that copies games either onto an external harddrive or directly onto the Xbox harddrive.

Keep in mind that there has to be enough hard drive space available in order to store these games. One every important fact to remember is to never sell these game copies for profit. Otherwise one runs the risk of incurring legal and criminal penalties. - 23802
