Ripping Games

Hi, If I want to rip a game to my hard drive so I can play it from there instead of from my optical drive, what programs will I need to use? I have Nero and ISOBuster if they're of any use. Also will I have to rip the istallation discs aswell? If someone could just give me a quick guide of exactly what I need to do, I would be very grateful!

Cheers

MagicDisc Virtual DVD/CD-ROM 2.1.28 is the only thing you need

OK, I've installed that. When ripping the game do I need to rip the install discs from the game aswell?

You need to place the CD/DVDs which you need during gameplay.

Nero and alcohol will emulate the CD1 you need for gameplay and you simply install the accompaning cds as per normal then mount CD1 in alcohol and away you go. Also consider making a separate partition for games say 20gig big. Then you will have perfect gameplay...Enjoy I can't stop playing Battlefield2

Hi again, I've gone through the installation and used MaicDisc to mout the ISO I made from the Play CD but it doesn't seem to work. When I click AutoPlay it looks like it's loading but then it doesn't. Any ideas? Thanks

I've been trying to get it to work all afternoon- no joy. Do I need to make ISOs of the installation discs and mount them aswell? I doubt it but I'm out of ideas. Maybe Max Payne 2 is copy protected? Any info or ideas? Cheers

I would be careful posting links like these on an official Sony site.

There's some software that can play securom without cracking.
