Not Copying Wii Games is Risky

By Katy Winger

There exist so many possibilities with regards to learning how to copy Wii games. Games are not cheap, all gamers know that. This is only one of the many reasons why it’s so important to make copies of your games. A major upside of finding out how to do so consists of making a copy of your friend’s discs so that you and your friend can both split the cost of the games. You’ll no longer need to worry about standing in line and spending your dough on these game discs. Another benefit: What about when your game disk gets scratched?

When you’ve done this, there is no reason to go out and blow your hard earned dough on an additional copy of a game that you’ve already spent hard earned money on. To get started in your new game copying pursuits, there are a few items that you’ll need to gather. First, you’ll need a Wii console. You’ll also, obviously, need a Wii game to copy! Next, you need a PC or Mac with a CD or DVD burner. You’ll also need a game copy application, as well as a blank disc. When you’ve gathered those items, you’re ready to start copying.

The special game copy application is the key part for ensuring that this procedure functions correctly. Manufacturers Firms are getting more intelligent and manufacturing their game discs with supposedly unbreakable security to prevent copying. But, the security is able to be broken and the utilities for doing so is available on the internet. A quick Google search will come up with a list of a dozen that can all be downloaded. Different companies sell their own versions and cost can often be very different. Performing the research on this one pays off since they usually state what the application is and isn’t able to do. Go over the specs and start that point.

Whichever software package from whichever company you eventually decide on, it should work on all discs. I never recommend buying this type of software that is specific to a certain console such as the Wii. If you’re going to pay for software, you might as well make sure that it can copy any games – you never know when you might want to copy an Xbox game after all, right?

You also need to make sure and test your PC or Mac’s CD/DVD drive. If it’s not working, it won’t be able to read or copy your games! Some older CD/DVD burners cannot read Wii games. You can test it by putting in a DVD from the last year or so. If it can read the DVD, then odds are it should be able to read a Wii game.

After you purchase the game copy application that you’ve decided fits your circumstances the best, you’ll need to download it and install it onto your computer. The installation is very simple. If you’ve ever installed a .exe application before, you should have no trouble with it. Just accept all of the defaults (hit next whenever it asks you). After that, it will walk you through ripping your Wii game, and will prompt you to put in a blank disc when it’s time.

The actual copy is fairly simple as well. The program that you purchased will first rip your disc and make a copy of all of it’s information, sans encryption, in whatever location you specify. (I usually recommend a folder on the desktop). Then, it’ll prompt you to insert a blank disc. You’ll tell it where the .ISO file that you just ripped is again. Then you’ll hit “burn”. And it’ll do it’s thing!

As you can see now, learning how to backup Wii games is a simple process. And once you know how to do it, you can show your friends, and you can do it again and again, with your entire library. Although the game copy app isn’t free, it will save you tons of money in the long run. So get copying!
