Help making backup copies of games

[Farkette]

Hello everyone, I'm new here, so bear with me if this is common knowledge. I just bought a laptop, and have been installing many of the games from my home machine onto my new one. Rather than carrying around all of my original discs, or cracking each game, I wanted to know if there was a way to burn the one file each game looks for onto one 'master' disc, so that I can just carry that around with me. I'm talking of games like Star Trek: Elite Force, Half-Life, The Sims, and Sim-City 4: Deluxe. Thanks in advance!

This allows you to play the games without the need for the cd, and without the large cd image stored on your harddrive.
For the games that you have mentioned, there are 'no cd' cracks available to download which are small in size. Checkout the crack sites in the links section of www.helpseek.net (http://www.helpseek.net). I am sure you'll be able to find what you are looking for.

Btw, Welcome to the forums!:)

Well he said he didn't want to crack each game.

You could make images of each game then just load them with Daemon Tools when you want to play.
