Hello RMN. I've been curious about this for a long time, but how hard would it be for an indie developer to make physical copies of their game. I know they do this in japan for things like comiket, so I've always been curious.

I'm just talking about making a dozen copies or so, not enough to meet the demands of thousands of people or anything like that. I know failure. It really depends on the file size of your game. If you're bothering to distribute it in disc form, I imagine it's going to be played by people who might not have the RTP installed.

Including the RTP with your game would increase the file size like crazy. It would take a few minutes to create each disc, assuming your game fits on the disc.

A dozen or so would be no problem. Instead, use the copy protection identification step above. AnyDVD runs in the background and you don't need to do anything to get it to work. Check your disc writer brand. In order to create a backup that doesn't require any patching, your disc reader and writer will need to be able to read and write RAW DAO and Subchannel Data.

Most modern drives support this, though you may run into issues on older computers. If your drive doesn't support this mode, then you will likely need to install a patch later on in order to play the game. Start the ripping process. Open up your ripping software. Insert the disc, click the Create Image or similar button, and choose the correct drive from the image ripping software.

Set a location for the image. When the disc is ripped, an image file is created on your hard drive. This file will be the same size as the disc, so make sure your hard disk has enough free space. Lower the read speed. Copying a game with protection software is tricky, and ripping it too fast can cause errors. Set the ripping speed to 4X or lower to ensure that no errors occur during the ripping process. Wait for the rip to complete.

Once you have set your ripping preferences, you just need to wait for the ripping process to be completed. Depending on the speed you set and the size of the disc, this could take a significant amount of time.

Part 2. Install the virtual drive software. Once you have the image file on your computer, you can either burn it to a blank disc or use a virtual drive to load the image file as if it was a disc. Avoid using your operating system's built-in image mounting software. Mount the image. Open the virtual drive program. Select the image file on your computer to mount.

The virtual drive program will create a new DVD drive on your computer, and the image file acts like the disc. When the image file is mounted, it's as if the disc has been inserted into the drive. Use the disc as normal. Once the disc has been mounted, it will act exactly as if the physical disc was inserted into a physical drive. For most games, the Autorun menu will appear after the disc is mounted, and you can install or play your game like normal. Part 3. Open the burning software.

If you want to copy your newly-created image to another disc, you'll need an image burning program. Load your disc image. When you start up the image burning program, load the disc image that you created in the first section. Most image burning software support all major image file types. Insert a blank disc.

Make sure that you are inserting the same kind of disc that the original used. These are rewritable and often cause errors when you try to load them with an image burned. The best brands of discs are Memorex, Verbatim, and Sony. These will lead to the least amount of possible errors. Start the burning process.
