The Nintendo Wii has been all the rage recently and has caused quite the stir in the video game industry. With so many new people having the Nintendo Wii in their homes, we are frequently receiving emails from people asking how they can copy Wii games.
It’s a good question and one that we thought we would answer in this brief article. We want to show you exactly how to copy Wii games directly from your home computer.
Most of you have probably burned a CD or possibly even a DVD before. This type of burning software is automatically included with almost all computer systems now. However, it won’t make copies of your video games.
Why? Because video game discs have a form of protection that stops these programs from being able to make copies. When you insert the game discs in your computer your PC doesn’t know how to “read” them.
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.
So how does it work?
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.
Once you get in the habit of copying Wii games it’s a good idea to make a copy of any game you have. This way you don’t have to worry about losing or damaging the original game disc. Your backup copies will work just like the originals and can be made directly from your own computer. All the best!
