Attention Nintendo Wii Owners! Here’s How To Copy Wii Games
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.
Almost everyone has burned a music CD before. In fact, the burning software to make copies of music cds is included in almost all computers now. Unfortunately, this software will not work if you try to use it to copy 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.
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?
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.
Being able to copy Wii games is a great way to make backup copies of any game you want. This way you are protected if you ever damage or lose a game of yours.
