It’s no mystery that the Nintendo Wii has been selling like mad – it’s one hot system! With so many new users, we seem to be getting a good number of emails from people wondering if there is a way to copy Wii games. With this is mind, we decided to throw together a quick guide showing you how to do this.
There’s a good chance that at some point in time you have used your CD burner to copy or burn a music CD. But as you probably know, you can’t use the same burning program to make copies of video games.
Why is this?
Nintendo Wii games use a type of ‘copyright protection’ on them (as do all video games) which blocks your computer from being able to recognize or “make sense” of what is on the disc. Because your computer can’t read the disc, it isn’t able to know what it is supposed to be copying.
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.
One quick point – these programs can copy xbox 360, PS3 and any other video games that are on discs. It’s not only for making Wii game copies.
If you want to try a risk-free trial for this type of program you can use the link at the bottom of this article.
Although the technology behind these programs is complex, using the program is a snap. You just put the Wii game into your disk drive, let your computer make an “image” of it, and then insert a blank CD-R or DVD-R that your computer than copies the image onto.
With this type of software it’s easy to copy Wii games whenever you get a new one. It’s always a nice option to have and it’s incredibly convenient since you get do right from your home computer. One warning though – it’s addictive!
