you can mostly just create ISO files from the discs.
some original discs, especially games, may have a copy protection scheme (safedisc, securom, etc) that makes them unplayable without being run with the original media, though. there was some software back then that worked pretty well at ‘making backups’ of those discs. also note that some drives (the hardware itself) were better than others at running that software to make them. i haven’t kept up with that stuff in a very long time, so i don’t have a clue what exists today.
The tools to get around early CD DRM copy protection is still available on GameCopyWorld’s website. I’d provide more detail but unfortunately you asked this on the .world instance. Hit up db0 piracy community if you wanna go that route.

yeah that’s what in afraid of, if it’s copywrite or DRM protected.
