Do you have a Nintendo Wii? This amazingly popular system has a unique gameplay style and many fun games to offer. That's why we're not surprised that so many people are interested in copying their Wii games as backups in case the originals are damaged.



These games may come on disks that look a lot like a standard burnable CD or DVD, but they can't be copied in exactly the same way. The process to do this is a little more complex. here's a guide that'll tell you all about the basics of game copying, as well as when you should do it.

Regular disk burning software won't be able to copy Wii games the same way as it can an audio CD. Nero, Roxio, and other similar top of the line programs aren't able to make copies of these disks because of the encoded copy protection that keeps your computer from reading them.

Like most types of copy protection, of course, someone quickly came up with a way to copy these disks without problems. The best way to do this is using programs capable of breaking through the Wii game's copy protection.

After installing software of this type, it's really quite easy to copy the game itself. Suddenly, your computer can understand data that it couldn't read before. This is true whether the game is on the Wii or another system.

Even some of the copy protection encryption used by PC games can be broken by programs of this kind. If you own more than one system, you can use this software to make backup copies of all your games, not just the ones for the Wii.

Once you've found the right program to help you break this encryption, and you've managed to install it on your computer, the next thing to do is copy the game data as a disk image. After you've placed this image on your computer's hard drive, you'll be able to insert a blank disk and burn the image onto it without any problems.

Functions for burning and copying your disks may be included with your decryption program, allowing you to avoid ordinary burners entirely if you choose. Using these functions means you'll have a much lower chance of errors when copying the disk.

Copying programs are now available which allow you to copy your games without needing to do more than go through a few menus and click a few buttons. Wii game copying is an excellent way to back up any game at all. After all, a backup is a great way to make sure the original stays in good shape.
