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.
Because of this, we thought it would be a good idea to answer this question in a quick article. This way you can start copying Wii games on your own computer right at home.
Nowadays, almost everyone has used the computer to burn a CD at some point. There are many different CD burning programs that let you do this; in fact most computers come pre-loaded with some type of burning software. However, this software will not make copies of your Wii games.
Video game discs are equipped with a form of “copyright protection” that block these programs from understanding the discs or being able to copy them. When you insert a disc into your computer, the computer can’t “read” the disc or understand it.
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.
This type of software not only lets you copy Wii games, but you can also make copies of Xbox 360, PS3 and literally any other game disc that you have. It’s nice to have just one program that will work for all the games systems you have.
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.
