How You Can Copy Wii Games On A Computer

By Sam Lockwood

One of the most unique methods of game play can be found in the Nintendo Wii. So, it isn't surprising that gamers want to copy these programs to provide a backup of the original just in case something happens to the original.

Wii discs look very similar to burnable CDS but that is where the similarity ends. Even though you would think you can copy the Wii discs like you can copy burnable CDS, you can't because copying WII discs is more complicated. You will learn in this article how to copy Wii discs and when you should not copy them.

Burning software like Roxio and Nero cannot successfully copy Wii software because of the way the Wii discs are encoded.

If you give it some thought, it is easy to understand that someone eventually came up with a way to copy Wii programs just like they came up with a way to copy other programs.

After installing software that will copy the Wii discs, it is easy to make copies of these discs because with the software the computer understands what is on the Wii discs. This is true also when you install software to copy discs from other systems like PS3 and Xbox 360.

In some cases, you can use the same copying software you use to copy Wii, 360, and PS3 discs for copying encrypted PC games. This is a good thing about having universal software, so that you don't need to repeatedly spend money for duplication software.

The first steep is installing the correct program to help you break the encryption code. Next, you need to copy the underlying data from your game as a disk image. Lastly, you must put a blank DVD into the drive and tell the program to burn the copied image into the DVD disc.

Most programs have a burning and copying function that are found within the decryption program. This function enables you to never have to turn to regular CD burners. In conclusion, this will reduce the probability of an error resulting when making copies of your favorite disc.

The copying programs that currently exist on the market make it extremely easy to copy Wii games right from the comfort of your own computers! Copying Wii games is great for anyone that wants to make a backup copy of any game that they own. Having a backup copy can be extremely useful just in case your original disc gets scratched or lost. Have fun! - 16732
