How to Copy PS3 Games
While amateur programmers are a long way off from manipulating the PS3 with unsigned code, legitimate game copy software is now widely in use. In itself, the PS3 console allows users to rip games and Blu-ray movies directly onto the hard drive, but decoding these files won’t be an easy undertaking for most gamers. The console isn’t designed to burn PS3 games, so you can copy and backup PS3 games, but executing the files usually still requires a genuine game disc.
Rather than spending an outrageous amount of time trying to decipher PS3 ISO files, many PS3 users have taken the simple route and purchased software capable of bypassing protections to copy games. You will need to use special game copy software instead of the standard CD/DVD burning program in order to copy PS3’s more advanced Blu-ray discs.
After purchasing recordable DVDs or Blu-ray discs, you can use your computer’s DVD burner and programs like Game Copy Wizard and Game Copy Pro to copy and backup games for your PS3. Similar to using image copying software, the process is over in a matter of minutes. Following the program’s step-by-step instructions, you can copy and save the game ISO image to the hard drive, then transfer it to a blank DVD.
The Playstation 3 is a masterpiece of design that has kept Sony developers and hackers alike at work unlocking its many secrets. While Sony has done an impressive job of protecting themselves from potential pirating, it also wise for PS3 gamers to protect their investment by keeping reliable backup games.
