Una nueva forma de respaldar tus juegos de juegos

La preservación de juegos en disco acaba de dar un paso interesante: algunos lectores Blu-ray de LG, Pioneer y ASUS pueden modificarse con firmware Omnidrive para extraer copias personales de juegos de Xbox 360, GameCube y Wii.

No se trata de distribuir ROMs, sino de respaldar tus propios discos y conservarlos en plataformas modernas. Una herramienta poderosa para coleccionistas, archivistas y fans del retro gaming.
