Most pc games copy with out a problem by copying the disc to a blank.
There are some Pc Gams though that have tough encrptions.

I have backed up almost all of out pc games with nero copy full disc. From original to a blank.

Do you have a DVD rom and a dvd burner to do it this way? Or 2 dvd burners?

some people go for the no cd/dvd patch

others make an image and mount with daemon tools?

much more complex than movies

and has nothing to do with shrink, thread moved

i go the mini-image route, bunch of small files, got a folder on the hard disk containing them, usually no bigger than 20mb each. prefer this to fixed exe's since they don't need to be updated with each game update patch.
