You may be relieved to find that the answer is yes, it is legal, although on one condition; you are not allowed to sell or distribute the copies to anyone. As long as you keep them for your own use and storage you’re kosher.
Now that the issue of legality has been cleared up, let’s move on to the actual process of copying the games.
This is accomplished using a DVD burner. However, one cannot simply stick your game of choice into the burner and expect the backup disc to be playable. This is because your standard DVD burner does not have the ability to copy the game’s digital recognition license. Therefore, if you tried to play an incorrectly copied backup game, it wouldn’t work. The game system you are using would think you were trying to play an illegally pirated game.
Since you can’t just copy a game unaided, in order to accomplish your task you need some type of software that would allow you to accomplish this.
There is a market for just this type of software, and many companies have developed programs and instructions intended to allow consumers to copy and backup perfect, working copies of their games.
This practice is not restricted to just any console though; the right software can enable a person to accomplish this task on a large range of consoles that use discs. From the contemporary Xbox 360 or PS3, all the way down to the PS one. It can work for handhelds as well.
