The current entertainment is varied thanks to the evolution that has been the same over the years, which has left us to enjoy TV, movies and more in different ways.
Before we had black and white televisions, tin toys and bicycle trips to entertain ourselves, and although it was one it was much simpler.
This does not mean that the entertainment back then was bad, just that it is very different from what we have now. Today we can see tons of people using cell phones, computers, watching satellite TV, and more.
Nowadays playing video games or having a fondness for them is not seen as a bad thing, since many are even seen as a piece of modern art or are well done enough to contain criticism of human nature and can open our minds to various senses. Best of all, you currently don’t need to have the internet to enjoy a good game.
In addition, many scientists have done research showing that video games are anything but harmful to people, to the point of improving reflexes, creativity and much more. And although everything in excess is bad, the fact that you play video games or that your child does, there is nothing wrong.
This is why, below, we bring you a small tutorial to make your life with video games a little easier, since we will explain how you can extract ISO images from an Xbox 360 disc and save them wherever you want without a problem.
What are ISO images?
Video games have tons of files that make them playable, and they are responsible for forming the different textures, movements, character dialogues and much more. Each small structure of the game is characterized by being within these files, and depending on the game the number of files may be greater or less.
And, when all these files are compiled or put together in a specific format, we get an ISO format file, a compiled format for game and program files that can be simulated as a disk.
As such, when we put an Xbox 360 disc in our console, it is reading the ISO that is inside the disc as a whole, although of course, all these files that make up an ISO are disaggregated and placed in other places when we talk about original discs.
How can I extract the ISO image from an Xbox 360 disc?
Getting an ISO image of a game can be quite useful, since depending on the state of an original disk or the need we have to save everything on a hard disk, we can get the ISO and have our console read it through the hard drive.
But, as we said before, the discs have a kind of decoding that makes removing the ISO not an easy task, which is done to avoid piracy attempts. But, if you have the need to, you can use a program called Xbox 360 ISO Extract, which you can easily find through an internet search.
Once you have done with the program, you must insert your Xbox 360 disk, open the program, and select the disk in the “Choose ISO Folder” part and then in “Destination”.
Specify where you want the ISO of your disk to be. You have to keep in mind that this process is quite efficient to put ISOs on an external storage drive for your Xbox 360 to read.
