Teach you how to record PS3 games the right way
With powerful new technology like the PlayStation 3, game recording has become even more complicated. Even if you’ve mastered recording gameplay on other consoles, there are a few things you need to know before you can record PS3 gameplay just as effectively.
The first thing to understand is that due to the size and format of many PS3 games, you may need to upgrade to a Blu-Ray burner to burn most PS3 games. The initial investment is that this device will probably set you back a fair amount of money, and aside from the ability to record PS3 gameplay, it may not have as many practical uses yet. As such, the decision to upgrade your recorder may not be an easy one, but it’s a necessary step if you plan on recording PS3 games. Just remember that a Blu-Ray will likely be the game and movie format of choice for years to come, so your new recorder will certainly pay back your initial investment for years to come.
Next, your backups need to be done with one of the different programs available, which will add copy protection by breaking files into your new backup so it can be played on your PS3. Unlike other systems where there are a variety of game copying or image copying software that can be used effectively, even freeware, the situation is quite different today on the PS3.
In order to properly burn PS3 games, you need to use one of these game ripping programs specifically designed to burn PS3 games properly. These programs include Game Copy Wizard and Game Copy Professional. There is simply no other way to play backups on the PS3 at present (the system has yet to be cracked in any way other than by using these recording methods). If and when the PS3 cracks, and users can tweak their systems hard or soft, at that point it may open the door for different game copying software to be used.
As you can see, the PS3 is a bit more complicated and requires a higher initial investment than copying games for any other system, but the rewards are well worth it. With these items in place, you can now burn the image files of any PS3 game using one of the programs above and be able to play it seamlessly on your PlayStation 3. Due to the size of most PS3 images, and the additional files that need to be built into the disc by the game’s copy software programs, burning is likely to take a long time. Grab a snack and a snack, and watch some TV or play your favorite game while the software works its magic.
It was thought that hackers would quickly crack the PS3 and easily modify it to allow players to play their backups on their system, but this has not been the case. Fortunately, through the methods described above, you can not only backup and burn PS3 games, but also play them. And isn’t that the point after all?
