Attention Nintendo Wii Owners! Here’s How To Copy Wii Games
February 15, 2008 – 3:11 amWith 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.
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.
Fortunately, there are companies that have designed specialized software that will allow you to copy Wii games. This software uses technology that “knocks-out” the copyright protection used on the game discs and allows your computer to understand the disc.
What do you need to do to use it?
There’s nothing to it really. First, your computer will make am “image” of the game disc when you put it in your disc drive. You then insert a blank DVD-R or CD-R disc and the software will burn this image onto the disc. You now have a perfect copy of the game.
Not only will this software let you copy Wii games, but you can also make copies of XBOX 360, PS3 and all types of games. This way you don’t have to buy a new program if you have more than just the one game system.
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!
