This is fantastic. And the fact that I found this after finding LTT's tutorial on PCEM? Perfection. I've now got a fat binder full of disks (I curse every company that went with "eh, a cardboard box and a paper sleeve is enough") and a shelf full of games waiting for me. Anything that's not on GOG or haven't been ported a million times I have a date with. Probably don't need to rip Tomb Raider, Quake or Star Wars games. But Civ II? Leisure Suit Larry's Casino? MECHWARRIOR (seriously, how is the Mech Warrior series not on GOG or something?!) LET'S GOOOOOO!
I've downloaded and extracted the latest MPF file but when i try to run the .exe, it doesn't do anything, even tried; run as administrator. Doesn't launch. new to this so i'd appreciate any help Went and installed the older version shown in the video and it's working. thanks for the this vid!
How do you deal with the DRM that games have that doesn't work on Windows OSes? I've backed up a few games but can't play them because of that incompatible DRM.
Question: Does this do DVD Roms of EA Games & Microsoft? Reason for this question is I want to backup Battlefield 1942 Anthology Collection, Battlefield 2, Microsoft Flight Sim 2004, and…. Battlefield Vietnam. Again, all personal uses since I really want to play these on a specific piece of hardware so I need them as digital files. P.S. I think this goes without saying however I want to copy the main disk that gets the game rolling so the specific hardware THINKS the disc is in and therefore will play without the disc needing to be inserted.
does it matter at all if i just take a newer version on the media preservation thingie. I mean im gonna do it anyway and if it stops me then i'll just take the older one. I guess unga bunga it didnt work BECAUSE I AM AN IDIOT and downloaded the ABSOLUTE wrong file like goddamn so im going with the glorious 2,4 what an epic number because 2+2=4 also 2x2=4, its just incredible i cant believe it
@@ArchadesGames Yes….but it uses the underlying sector by sector copying technique for ISO and Bin/Cue file and MDF images….I was just asking how is this program any better than a paid, professional piece of software?
@@ArchadesGames gotcha that makes sense, thanks. I’ll definitely use this tool, I haven’t come across it before. You are doing excellent with all the work you put into these videos thanks for all you do

Poor MechWarrior rights are a friggin minefield to navigate.
Most of my PC games are CD based. I'll have to check my LG bluray player model number against that list. Thanks for sharing that!
I own over 200 DVD Based games for PC. Plus over 50 CD based games. This is gonna take forever! 🤣
Oh yes!!
While I think you will rightfully show off how a 4k screen with 100% scaling looks like, I can't make out anything on your screen while using my phone

Good work here. I like the controller review you put up for the power a nano on game rant

Stupid question but does this also work for old dvd movies I still got a bunch from forever ago and would like to back them up.
I don't think this would work for movies
You can use makemkv and handbrake for that

Back to dumping !
Yup!
Hi, so, we are moving the games for preservating them, disc to SSD/HD, ssd's and hd's degrade too, is there any better storage system ?

I've still got my hard copy of Dark Colony somewhere, I need to IMG that
Nice!
I got GTA VC Install and Play disc will it work and how will it work and btw will copy protected discs work too as backing up?

Why not magic iso?
Because this is literally a tool for making archive quality copies.
@@ArchadesGames Yes….but it uses the underlying sector by sector copying technique for ISO and Bin/Cue file and MDF images….I was just asking how is this program any better than a paid, professional piece of software?
I’m watching this video while dumping… 😂
Excellent I guess 🤣
What is the difference between using ImgBurn versus MPF?
Not much for DVDs, but imgburn can't do a lot of CDs right.
@@ArchadesGames gotcha that makes sense, thanks. I’ll definitely use this tool, I haven’t come across it before. You are doing excellent with all the work you put into these videos thanks for all you do
It was a recent discovery for me as well. Time to finally redo my NAS setup 😂
is there any way to do this with console games ?
These are some of the ones I have covered.

@@ArchadesGames Ty for the fast answer
What about using pcem?
What about it specifically
ah yes, "back up" totally not gonna copy games with this
