Sure is. I'll save you the trouble of having to wade through necstasy.

Use the TurboRip.EXE utility to rip a burnable image of any PC-FX game from the original disc.

Simply typing "TURBORIP" at the command prompt will the get the ball rolling and prompt you through the necessary steps to create an image.

The image created can be burned using your favorite image burning app, Nero or whatever's your poison.

So I tried this....it extracted all the files onto my HDD and then I went into the folder, right clicked on the ISO file and burned to CD Rom using CopytoDVD....popped into the PC-FX, it recognized it as a game disc and when I clicked the icon to start it went to a black screen and the drive continued to spin without loading any data. Did I do something wrong? Was I supposed to burn just the ISO file, or is am I supposed to copy all of the files....the TurboRip tutorial is a bit vague about the burning process.

Awesome. Thanks for the help guys! I was expecting someone to freak and ban me over even asking this, but I really did panic when I dropped my Zenki....from now on I can keep my precious titles safe in the case for collectional value and just play the back-up worry free!

[PC-FX Discussion / Is it possible to back-up PC-FX games?]

Recently I purchased a back-up system and the 2 main games missing from my collection, Zenki and Zeroigar. Two days ago when taking Zenki out of the system the disc slipped from my grasp and landed face first on the floor. Suffice to say I was quite fearful of the results, but fortunately the disc was not scratched at all. However this incident got me wondering if it was possible to make back-ups of my more rare PC-FX titles. I seem to recall at one point there was a link on the PC-FX page a couple years back that linked to ISOs for a couple of games...so I tried making a copy, but it didn't work. Is there some way to do this?

Hopefully no one takes this thread the wrong way, yes this is my first post, but I've been reading the site off and on for several years and I simply want to avoid losing my games to time or my own clumsiness; so hopefully someone will point me in the right direction. I don't want links to pirate sites or anything like that, I'm not looking for games for free. I'd just like to know if it's possible to back-up my titles and what I did wrong.

Thanks in advance for any help!
