Newbie Forum
#1

Hi guys, i have recently purchased 2 games:

Need For Speed Most Wanted
and
Doom 3 (and oldie :P)

They are both cd versions, but i want to burn them onto 1 dvd so its easier to install with in future. Would you guys know how to do this?

Thanks, compboy =D

That entirely depends on the filesystem and installation method. So you need to find that out for each game.

Also my experience don’t rehash old thread that are like 6 years old. Next time read the post dates before replying to such a old thread. The users most likely have moved on and aren’t going to reply back to the posting.

There’s nothing wrong with adding to old threads especially when it’s on topic, constructive, and contains new information to that previously given. :wink:

How about then… Ripping the CDs as ISOs, put them into a folder (call this whatever you want - “CD ISOs” maybe, then before you burn the contents of the folder, make sure you throw in an disc emulating software into this folder, such as Daemon Tools or MagicDisc, and then burn the entire contents onto a DVD using your preferred burning software. Mine is IMGBurn :iagree:

Sling it into a box, and write on the disc. When you come to use it, install the emulating software, and then mount your ISO image either from the disc or copied onto a hard drive. (Copying all of this onto your computer will make it much quicker).

Boom, its as though you had the official disc :wink:

Why do you want to do that, may I ask?
