Why You Should Copy Wii Games

By Richard Brocker


When you first learn how to copy Wii games, it's like a veil has been lifted from your eyes. The grass is greener. The sky is bluer. Ok, so maybe that's an exaggeration. Regardless, learning how to copy these games can provide you with a whole new set of possibilities. For one, you're able to split the costs of games with your friends. For another, you're no longer beholden to fragile Wii discs. If you've made backup copies, then when one breaks, you simply replace it with a copy!

You'll need a few simple items in order to start making copies of your games. You need 1)a computer 2)a Wii game to copy 3)a Wii console to test out your copy on 4)a blank disc 5)game copy software. The computer can be a PC or Mac (no Linux), and it should have a CD or DVD burner.

The special game copy application is the key part for ensuring that this procedure functions correctly. Manufacturers Firms are getting more intelligent and manufacturing their game discs with supposedly unbreakable security to prevent copying. But, the security is able to be broken and the utilities for doing so is available on the internet. A quick Google search will come up with a list of a dozen that can all be downloaded. Different companies sell their own versions and cost can often be very different. Performing the research on this one pays off since they usually state what the application is and isn't able to do. Go over the specs and start that point.

When you're shopping around for software, make sure that you get a full featured application. Some companies offer game copy apps that only work for one console platform. You should avoid these. The full featured ones that will work for any console will usually also work better for foreign region games, as well as for encrypted CDs and DVDs.

You also need to make sure and test your PC or Mac's CD/DVD drive. If it's not working, it won't be able to read or copy your games! Some older CD/DVD burners cannot read Wii games. You can test it by putting in a DVD from the last year or so. If it can read the DVD, then odds are it should be able to read a Wii game.

Once you decide which game copy software you're going to buy, you'll need to pay for it, download it, and install it. Just double click the .exe file that you downloaded, and hit "next" every time that it prompts you, so that you are taking all of the defaults. Run the app after the installation, and insert your Wii disc. The app will walk you through the copy process.

This process is very easy and it shouldn't take long at all. The software will rip every last piece of data off of the Nintendo Wii game and burn it onto your computer's desktop. You'll place the blank optical media disc into the DVD drive and in a short time, you'll have your first backed up Wii game. Put it into your Wii system and it should function just like the original disc you were using.

As you can see now, learning how to backup Wii games is a simple process. And once you know how to do it, you can show your friends, and you can do it again and again, with your entire library. Although the game copy app isn't free, it will save you tons of money in the long run. So get copying!
