Games are an important part of family life these days. Parents and kids fight like crazy to get the Xbox 360 or PS2, they even play together sometimes. The problem is that the discs end up scattered on the floor or behind the sofa. The DVD is extremely susceptible to damage and can become useless. And with the cost of games these days, that’s the last thing you need.
The option to copy Xbox 360 games for backup is a useful solution, but most people don’t know how to do it. Imagine having the ability to copy that PS2 or Xbox game, keep the original safe, and burn another when the copy goes bad. It’s a very good idea to make copies as soon as you’ve had a game, it will save you a lot of money and headaches in the long run. Do not leave it until the original is scratched, it will not work.
We’re going to cover how to backup XBOX 360 games. You can back up PS2 games the same way with the right software. Think what you will need. A DVD burner on your computer is essential to read the disc. The PC’s DVD drive is capable of reading data from Xbox 360 discs, although it cannot play the games.
The second (and last) thing you’ll need is an image file software program to take the data from the Xbox 360 drive and create an ISO image file. There is software available on the web to do this. Writing the ISO file is a bit of a lengthy process, but once it’s done, you can burn that image to a blank DVD, and your ripped Xbox 360 game is ready to use.
There is also an option to copy Xbox 360 games to your hard drive from Xbox. You will need to soft mod your console, and you will need to if you want to play any backup games. You’ll also need to get flashFXP and Qwix and a board to get it up and running.

You can then use the Qwix software to view the stored games. You just need to click ‘create ISO’ and the image file will be saved. Then use the process mentioned above to burn to the DVD
