Attention Nintendo Wii Owners! Here's How 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.

Since we keep getting this question, we decided to put together a quick guide on how to copy Wii games right on your own 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.

Video game discs are equipped with a form of "copyright protection" that block these programs from understanding the discs or being able to copy them. When you insert a disc into your computer, the computer can't "read" the disc or understand it.

Have no fear though! There are companies that have developed specific game-copying software that will let you copy Wii games. The software uses a special technology that is able to bypass the copyright protection and allows your copmuter to "make sense" of the disc.

How do you use it?

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.

This type of software not only lets you copy Wii games, but you can also make copies of Xbox 360, PS3 and literally any other game disc that you have. It's nice to have just one program that will work for all the games systems you have.

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.
