How To Copy Wii Games - The Easy Way To Copy Wii Games

By Scott Frayburn

There's no question that the Nintendo Wii has taken the video game industry by storm. It was nearly impossible to find one this past Christmas and the units continue to fly off the shelves. Recently, we have received a lot of emails from people wondering how they can copy Wii games right on their computer.

It's a good question and one that we thought we would answer in this brief article. We want to show you exactly how to copy Wii games directly from your home computer.

Most of you have probably burned a CD or possibly even a DVD before. This type of burning software is automatically included with almost all computer systems now. However, it won't make copies of your video games.

The reason for this is that video game discs have "copyright protection" guards on them that prevent these programs from being able to read the discs. When you insert the disc into your computer, it doesn't "make sense" to your PC.

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.

So how does it work?

Thankfully, it's not complicated whatsoever. You insert the game disc into your disc drive and your computer will make an "image" of the disc on your computers hard drive. Afterwards, you simply insert a blank disc and the software will burn this exact image onto it. You are then left with a perfect copy for you to use whenever you want.

Not only will this software let you copy Wii games, but you can also make copies of XBOX 360, PS3 and all types of games. This way you don't have to buy a new program if you have more than just the one game system.

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. - 15634
