Are you wondering if there is a way to copy Wii games? If you are – you’re not alone! We have been getting a number of emails about this so we decided to write a quick article about copying Wii games.
Almost everyone with a computer has used their burner their burner before. “Ripping” music CDs is extremely common – there’s a good chance you have done this before. However, you can’t use the same software that you use to burn a music cd to make a copy of a video game.
Why is that?
All video game discs are equipped with a type of protection that prevents your computer from being able to produce copies. The companies that make video games have developed these “copyright guards” so that your computer can’t recognize the discs – this prevents it from being able to make a copy.
As you might have already guessed, there are software companies that have developed programs that can “knock-out” the protections that are used on Wii games (and other video games). Once you install the program your computer is suddenly able to “make sense” of the game discs.
I should point out that this software isn’t only for copying Wii games. You can also use it to make copies of xbox 360, PS3 and all other video games that are on a disc.
We did put a link at the bottom of this article where you can find out how to get a free trial of this type of software.
Once it’s installed on your computer it’s extremely easy to use. You insert the original Wii game you want copied and let your computer produce an “image” of the disc on it’s hard drive. You then put in a blank disc and the computer will transfer the image onto it – this gives you a perfect copy.
Making copies of Wii games is a great way to protect any game you already have – if you ever lose or damage it at least you have a backup. By using the right software you can copy Wii games whenever you like just by using the CD burner on your computer. Good luck!
