The Nintendo Wii is unlike any other video game system which has come before; it has generated an unprecedented level of popularity. It should come as no surprise to anyone that there are a lot of people who want to copy their Wii games as a backup in case of damage, loss or theft.<\/p>\n

While these games come on a disc that looks a lot like your burnable CDs, they can’t just be copied the same way you’d rip a music CD. It’s a little more complicated than that. Here’s a guide to tell you the basics of copying Wii games, as well as the circumstances when you should and shouldn’t do it.<\/p>\n

The software which you use to rip and burn CDs doesn’t work to copy Wii games. Nero, Roxio and other common CD burning software can’t copy these discs due to the copy protection which is encoded on the disc. This encryption keeps your computer from reading the disc.<\/p>\n

Of course, like most copy protection, it didn’t take long for someone to come up with a workaround. There are programs available that can read through the copy protection that comes on a Wii disc.<\/p>\n

When you have this softeware, copying Wii games becomes a relatively simple process. Your computer will now be able to read the copy protected data on the disc. It’s not just Wii discs which can be read using this type of software, but also Xbox 360 and PS3 games.<\/p>\n

A lot of PC games also have copy protection which these programs can work around. If you have several different game systems, you can make backup copies of all of your games with this software ? you’re not just limited to copying Wii games.<\/p>\n

After you’ve found and installed a program to help you break the encryption, you’ll need to copy the data on your game as a disk image. Once you have this disk image on your hard drive, all you need to do is put a blank DVD or CD into the drive, then instruct the program to burn the image to it. <\/p>\n

These programs often feature burning and copying capabilities along with their decryption abilities. Using these built in tools, you’ll have a smaller chance of burning errors when copying Wii games.<\/p>\n

Thanks to these new software tools, copying Wii games is not quick and easy. It’s always a good idea to have backups of your favorite games in case of accidents, theft or loss. Happy gaming!<\/p>\n
