The Easy Way To Copy Wii Games Using Your Burner

By Scott Frayburn

Are you wondering if there is a way to copy Wii games? If you are - you're not alone! We have been getting a number of emails about this so we decided to write a quick article about copying Wii games.

Almost everyone with a computer has used their burner their burner before. "Ripping" music CDs is extremely common - there's a good chance you have done this before. However, you can't use the same software that you use to burn a music cd to make a copy of a video game.

Why is that?

Because video game discs use a form of "copyright protection" that prevents your computer from being able to make a copy. The discs don't "make sense" to your computer so it isn't able to recognize what needs to be copied.

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.

These game-copying programs aren't only for Wii games. You can also use them to copy PS3, xbox 360 or any other video game that is 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.

The software is incredibly easy to use once you install it and get the hang of it. First you insert your Wii game into your CD/DVD drive and let your computer make an "image" of it. Afterwards you put in a blank disc and the image is copy identically onto the disc.

Making copies of Wii games is a great way to protect any game you already have - if you ever lose or damage it at least you have a backup. By using the right software you can copy Wii games whenever you like just by using the CD burner on your computer. Good luck!
