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.
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 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.
With this problem in mind, certain software companies set out to solve this issue by developing a program that is able to bypass these protections and allow your computer to read Wii games. By using this specialized software, all of a sudden video game discs "make sense" to your PC.
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.
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.
It's a great feeling to be able to copy Wii games using your computer and your burner. This gives you a way to backup all of your existing games and make copie of any other Wii game you pick up. Enjoy! - 15275
