Umm...this software is like dameon tool.It will make a virtual drive and burn/mount an image of the dvd/cd.Useful for PC games but don't see why you need to buy this to copy xbox games.You can use anything for xbox games as long as you are have a dvd burner(use nero or whatever).
You can also install evoX and rip the game right on the xbox HD.Its all menu driven,boot evoX,click copy game from dvdr/cdrw and thats it.You can mod your system from chinatown for $125.

....you can create a usable xbox back up by making a simple DVD copy?
...that seems awfully too easy considering how protective Microsoft is of their games.
...are you sure they're not protected?

THats the problem,it IS that easy.
Xbox games come on DVD, and a new product exists that claims to instruct you how to copy xbox games using a standard DVD writer, a hardware component that is common in most PCs today. It is called DVD Wizard Pro, an executable ebook that contains information and detailed instructions on how to copy just about anything based on DVD.It includes a video games section that deals with copying Xbox games.
Its possible with nero as well(I red somewhere).
I haven't done it myself since its too much hassle to copy THEN play from the dvdR.Just ripping on xbox HD is a lot easier,takes 2-5 minutes depending on the size of the game and thats it.
I also BUY whatever games I really like.Its called support(only capcom and konami deserve it,other companies are releasing pure crap anyway).

Just to clarify some point here...
ORIGINAL Xbox games CANNOT be read in a PC and will never be !
For a simple reason, it has to be read "counter-clockwisely" (dunno if that's good english) and every PC DVD CD and other are turning the other way :)

I think you are confusing the xbox with the gamecube...
The xbox drive doesn't spin backwards... if it did we couldn't burn game for it as they would be backwards. :)

You CAN copy original xbox games using a dvdr,search around its possible.Read my other post(s) above carefully.However, making backups is pointless.Just install evox and rip the games right on the HD.If need to share teh game with a friend or something then just FTP the data from xbox HD to your computer.

<tongue planted firmly in cheek>
So then I could see the ending to the game without having to play through the whole thing? I'd just start at the end of the game and play through it backwards? Sweet!

I thought you had to FTP to the XBOX HD from another PC. So you're backing up directly from the XBOX DVD drive straight to the HD?Without FTP?! Is this a new release of EVOX enabling this? Tell me more!

I dunno about older version of evox but the one I got has a "manage game" menu.All you do is press copy from the menu and rip the store bought retail games on the HD.I think its been like that.

I use it for mame too,for the sake of simplicity and anything I ever play runs perfect anyway(kawa-x for larger roms).
;D
