Smile Multi-disk games

Does anyone out there know of a program that will copy multi-disk games onto one dvd, so I don't have to keep trading disks?

The best way I know of is making images of all discs with Alcohol120% or Clonecd and write those to disc. You can even make one gigantic winrar archive and write that to dvd. Other than that I don't think what you ask is possible.

There is no need of any special program to proceed. Almost every game in the market support migrating it to a dvd. Just need to pass every file to your hd and then burn then together into a blank DVD. You must also preserve some special features of playing disc and so on ( label, autons...) But there is a problem by doing that...you must use a crack, because the protection is not copied ( I think this is evident). The spanning method used to compile the instalation files in most games are easyly "bypassed" when burning in a DVD because they call a funtion like this:
do "Copy files into the destination folder"
if "no files present" then "ask "for new destination of the files". This is the proccess folowed for almost every installer (Installshield with Installshield cabinets, Windows installer with popular cabs or something you like)
To be more accurate, some games like Colin Mc Rae Rally 3, Hulk or Midnight club 2 can be easyly passed into DVD with a crack because they only need the CD to verify it's protected with secuROM (for example). Bypassing that check ( what a crack does) then no more probs using that method.
You only will need to copy the play disc label or the autorun file of the playing disc too.

hope could help you.

Good luck!

chek out GameJack, its perfect for hwat you want to do.

It'd let your copy the contents of each CD to HDD, then burn the images to the DVD, along with the inteface that GameJack has, (look inthe instalaltion folder its there). and its a very easy to use image manager/ drive emulator in ONE.

perfect to create dvd with 3-4 CD games on it.
