How to copy Wii Games on a computer?

By Cam Halladay

Heard about the Nintendo Wii computer game? It entails a completely different kind of game strategy compared to other such gaming systems, hence most people owning these game systems possess backup disks in case the Wii games are damaged.

Although these gaming consoles can be found on usual looking compact discs, to be able to copy these normal CDs is not as easy as it is to do the same to an audio or a movie CD. The following are a few guidelines that enable you to move past the complexity of copying these gaming consoles and make back ups of them.

Do you use Nero or Roxio to burn your CDs? Well, we'll give you a little shocker ? Wii games can't be copied using this same software, so you'll need to get specific software programs that will help you burn such disks. Nintendo games are encoded and copy protected, which means, you can't get a copy made unless you own a special software!

Someone took time but eventually cam up with a workaround, as is the case of most copy protection. The copy protection that comes on a Wii disc can be read through available programs.

But if you can install the relevant software that can break these codes on your computer, then you will be able to make duplicates of not only the Nintendo Wii, but other popular gaming consoles like PlayStation and Xbox 360 as well.

These programs can also break a few PC games which use encryption. This software can help create backup copies if own more than one game system, and not just your Wii.

You will have to copy the data on your game as a disk image after searching and installing a program to help you break the encryption. You simply need to put a blank DVD or CD into the drive after having this disk image on your hard drive. Then you simply instruct the program to burn the image to it.

When you're ripping and burning the disk, it isn't necessary you use regular burning software programs, since most often, the decryption program has its own copying and burning facilities. This'll reduce the chance of an error while burning the CD.

The programs that help you copy CDs which are available widely in today's markets make it easier for you to copy the Wii games, without having to worry about external software programs. So now you can sit back, play with your game console and not be worried, because you already have a backup of them! Just have fun! - 15634
