With the Nintendo Wii becoming so popular so quickly, we seem to be getting quite a few emails from people wondering if there is a way to copy Wii games on their computer. I thought it would be a good idea to go over how you can make exact backup copies of Wii games using the burner on your computer.
There's a good chance that at some point in time you have used your CD burner to copy or burn a music CD. But as you probably know, you can't use the same burning program to make copies of video games.
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.
When there's a problem, someone's going to find a solution! That's exactly what certain software companies have done - there are now programs that are able to "punch-out" the guards on video games. When you install this software, your computer is able to read the data that is on video game discs.
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.
We did put a link at the bottom of this article where you can find out how to get a free trial of this type of software.
Once it's installed on your computer it's extremely easy to use. You insert the original Wii game you want copied and let your computer produce an "image" of the disc on it's hard drive. You then put in a blank disc and the computer will transfer the image onto it - this gives you a perfect copy.
With this type of software it's easy to copy Wii games whenever you get a new one. It's always a nice option to have and it's incredibly convenient since you get do right from your home computer. One warning though - it's addictive!
