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.
Since we keep getting this question, we decided to put together a quick guide on how to copy Wii games right on your own 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.
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?
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.
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!
