O and one more thing all, not some i mean ALL every single one of them sites selling wierd software with all these statements saying they copy games all easy and crap but if u noticed no where on them do they even explain how its all BS.... there is normal recording programs out there that can handel PS1,PS2,XBOX,XBOX 360...... just look around if the place gives u a run around and it seems like its impossiable to get answers to ur questions then more than likley its a BS company.... and all the ones that say u can just copy them and play them is BS cause no system does that, they all need modified in one way or another to play the backups.... and as i said at least as far as PS1,PS2, and XBOX go that way is by having a chip installed inside your system witch will also void your warrenty if u care about that but if the system is old and over that then nothing to worry about... but for those systems the most solid way of havin them always work is havin the chip installed, witch u can order and do your self or there is places you can buy the chip and send your system to and they will install it for you witch is your best bet if u aint good with solder and wires and taking things apart... me i do my own on the other hand. once u have all that done then u can look into makin backups... ill let ya in on a hint most games are made by makin a image file of the disc like a IOS so what ever you use will have to be able to make those, thats the best way of doing it but only certain programs will do it right and decode the right so u gotta look into that for your self but stay away from all them wierd sites pushin that their program can make games... ill give u another hint most of the programs that make the games the best and do it kinda easy dont even push that their product makes games, they dont even talk about it, PS1 u need a CD burner and program, PS2 and XBOX u need a DVD burner and program same with 360.... also your best bet for media is DVD+R thats your best bet for movies also by the way, i never had one coaster my entire life with +R and more machines seem to like em and play em better and dont use cheap brands for games.... hope u find all ur lookin for and some of the info helps...
