Learning how to copy Wii games opens up new worlds and new vistas just brimming with possibilities. Anyone who owns a game console knows how pricey Wii games can be. I recently spent $65 on Epic Mickey! And that is one of the most important reasons to make backups of your entire game collection. In fact, you should be backing up each game as soon as you get it home from the store. Another major plus, which is related, is that when you start making copies, you can go in on the cost of discs with your friends. Picture it: 4 of you chip in on that $60 dollar game, and then make copies for each of you. All of a sudden, the price looks much more affordable! Yet another benefit, if you need one: You no longer have to worry about broken or scratched games.
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.
So of the above items, which is the most important? By far, that would have to be the game copy software. Why? Simple. Because the game copy software functions to burn the copy disc in a format that the Wii will recognize and be able to boot from, and also because it gets past the encryption that the manufacturer installs to try and prevent you from making copies. This software can be found all over the web, at varying price points. Do some simple research, and compare features before you buy.
Whichever software package from whichever company you eventually decide on, it should work on all discs. I never recommend buying this type of software that is specific to a certain console such as the Wii. If you’re going to pay for software, you might as well make sure that it can copy any games – you never know when you might want to copy an Xbox game after all, right?
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.
Learning how to copy Wii games is easy and hassle-free. It involves almost no time at all and, even though the program isn’t free, it lets you save you a lot more. Purchase the software right now and begin playing more games than your budget has ever allowed you to before!
