Kids Making backups of game and app CDs, HELP!!

First time post. Hey all I just bought a new computer and tons of games and applications. Of course they come on CDs, and so my question is, if I want to make perfect copies of these game and app CDs of mine (for personal use of course), what software out there will let me do this? I always seem to find a way to damage my originals, and backup copies would be perfect for me.

Something similar to DVD X-copy, but for game and app CDs would be great. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Welcome to TechIMO!

Here's what I use:

Roxio Easy CD Creator

Nero Burning ROM

You can use either one. Both of them have the Disc copier option.

I use Alchohol 120%. For Safedisc-2 based games, very, VERY few burners can exactly replicate a Safedisc-2 disc. For that, I use the excellent Insektor program. You have to 'fix' your ISOs, and you have to have the program's driver installed and all of it's options checked whilst you run the game (You can probably get away with not hiding CD/RW), but it's MUCH better than using cracks to copy your games.

if you can get a clonecd 3.x(haven't experimented in 4.x) and set your region and language settings to like the UK, then other options will be available for you to use. Then use a cd scanning program like clonyxxl and search for the protection then use the settings in clonecd to make a copy.
