IE games backup on DVD?
« on: December 11, 2004, 08:12:49 AM »
I would like to backup my IE games (BG+TotSC, BG2+ToB, IWD, IWD2, PS:T). But I despise those multi-disc installations, so I thought I could burn each game onto one DVD?

How would I go about doing that? Just copy each CD content onto one image and burn it or what? Create one 'cdx' folder for each disc on the DVD and change some path names? I have no idea.

I understand that this could smell like piracy, but keep in mind that these games are mostly out of print, so...

There's a thread over at Bioware discussing just this and the mod of the forum seemed OK with it and didn't express any concerns over copywrite infringement or piracy, and in fact actually gave the guy burning them the go-ahead to do it.
