Games On Cd Backed Up On Dvd

[ash2dust2]

Make ISOs of all CDs. Mount all the ISOs. Tell the game to look to the correct drive letter when it asks for the next CD. That should satisfy the label requirement.

Yup this makes sense .. but .. not what I want to do ..

I want to be able to install without having to mount anything ..

I want an Install DVD disk ..

i'm sorry, but this only works with install shield installation programme.
i haven't seen any custom made setup programme that is 'smart enough' to recognise that all files are on the same dvd

Maybe you would enjoy by visiting CdSTeam
That web site is in spanish, but right now, it is the only one that manage installation "fixing".
Some latest games such Far cry or True crime need to modify a file (a .msi to be more accurate) in order to work the installation from a DVD.
Maybe you will need to translate with Babelfih if u want to learn...hehehe.

TIP: Different image onto a DVD is a waste of time. It is better to make a real DVD that works like original...install and play.

Good luck!

Ok, I was readin thu the post and replys there, and i came up with this.
It seems like everyone was on the right track but my synaptic mis-fireings took me in the direction that u wanted to actully BACK-UP your games
Keepin in mind that you are using either GameXcopy or Alcohol.... (bc both make an EXACT copy, copy-protection and all. I prefer Xcopy but im byass )

Now, Xcopy makes Disk Images of all your game cd's on your HD with the specific titles
When Xcpy "clones" the game it gives the disk the same disk ID which is important in multi-disk games/programs installments

Now that you have "cloned" all of the disks for a specific game, simple copy them to a DVD, not burn, bc that says that you r tryin to make a cd of the image. You jsut want to make a disk with all the "cloned" images on it for archival purposes.

Ok, with me so far, man I am maken this sound soooo much more complex than it sounds in my head

Alrighty then, another side feature of GameXcopy is that it allows u to Mount 4 Virtul Drives. I know that there r programs which allow u to have more VR mounts but I use Xcpy to do it all.

Simple insert ure archived DVD with ure Back-up "clones" , copy them to ure HD, mount them , and install

Back ups r safe, Org's r safe, games installed, and ure happy again
I hope this helps and works for u
