Back-up guide
 

I've ordered a handful of viper chips to play with in the new year, but before I rush out & buy a dozern GC games in the boxing day sales to satisfy my new hobby.......... can somebody point me in the direction of a back-up guide please?

pretty simple. Open Nero, Go to file, Open, Select your iso(if its a .gcm, rename it to .iso). In the burning options check "finalize" and burn at the lowest speed.

Thanks m8, but its how to extract the game from the disc onto my PC in the first place that I'm needing.

currently the only way to backup a game is by the PSO Exploit. Using PSO, u could run the Ripper program and will backup the game onto your pc. I'm sure soebodys gonna release a bios later on that allow you to backup your games without PSO.
