Attention Nintendo Wii Owners! Here's How To Copy Wii Games
With the Nintendo Wii constantly selling out across the country, we have found ourselves getting more and more emails from people asking if it is possible to copy Wii games using their cd/dvd burner.
With the Nintendo Wii constantly selling out across the country, we have found ourselves getting more and more emails from people asking if it is possible to copy Wii games using their cd/dvd burner.
Because of this, we thought it would be a good idea to answer this question in a quick article. This way you can start copying Wii games on your own computer right at home.
Nowadays, almost everyone has used the computer to burn a CD at some point. There are many different CD burning programs that let you do this; in fact most computers come pre-loaded with some type of burning software. However, this software will not make copies of your Wii games.
The reason for this is that video game discs have “copyright protection” guards on them that prevent these programs from being able to read the discs. When you insert the disc into your computer, it doesn’t “make sense” to your PC.
Although most burning software won’t work, there are specialty game-copying programs that have been specifically designed to be able to bypass the copyright guards that are on video game discs. This software will let you copy Wii games by allowing your computer to “understand” the game discs.
How do you use it?
It’s incredibly simple. First, you insert the game disc and wait while the program makes an “image” of the disc on your hard drive. Next, you insert a blank disc that your computer will burn this image onto. When it is finished, you are left with an exact copy of the game.
When you have this software on your computer, you can copy Wii games, XBOX 360 game, PS3 games - any type of game disc for that matter. It’s nice to have a program that does it all if you do have more than one game system at home.
Having the software you need to copy Wii games is a great way to make backup copies of any game for your system. We suggest making backup copies of any game you have so that you are protected in case it ever gets lost or damaged. Happy gaming!
