When you first learn how to copy Wii games, it's like a veil has been lifted from your eyes. The grass is greener. The sky is bluer. Ok, so maybe that's an exaggeration. Regardless, learning how to copy these games can provide you with a whole new set of possibilities. For one, you're able to split the costs of games with your friends. For another, you're no longer beholden to fragile Wii discs. If you've made backup copies, then when one breaks, you simply replace it with a copy!
When you've done this, there is no reason to go out and blow your hard earned dough on an additional copy of a game that you've already spent hard earned money on. To get started in your new game copying pursuits, there are a few items that you'll need to gather. First, you'll need a Wii console. You'll also, obviously, need a Wii game to copy! Next, you need a PC or Mac with a CD or DVD burner. You'll also need a game copy application, as well as a blank disc. When you've gathered those items, you're ready to start copying.
So of the above items, which is the most important? By far, that would have to be the game copy software. Why? Simple. Because the game copy software functions to burn the copy disc in a format that the Wii will recognize and be able to boot from, and also because it gets past the encryption that the manufacturer installs to try and prevent you from making copies. This software can be found all over the web, at varying price points. Do some simple research, and compare features before you buy.
Whichever software package from whichever company you eventually decide on, it should work on all discs. I never recommend buying this type of software that is specific to a certain console such as the Wii. If you're going to pay for software, you might as well make sure that it can copy any games - you never know when you might want to copy an Xbox game after all, right?
It is of critical importance that your PC or Mac has a drive with the ability to read Wii games. Not 100% are able to, but so long as you are using a somewhat new computer, there should not be an issue. If you've ever watched a DVD on your computer, then you can rest assured that there is a good possibility you own a pretty good drive.
Once you decide which game copy software you're going to buy, you'll need to pay for it, download it, and install it. Just double click the .exe file that you downloaded, and hit "next" every time that it prompts you, so that you are taking all of the defaults. Run the app after the installation, and insert your Wii disc. The app will walk you through the copy process.
The actual copy is fairly simple as well. The program that you purchased will first rip your disc and make a copy of all of it's information, sans encryption, in whatever location you specify. (I usually recommend a folder on the desktop). Then, it'll prompt you to insert a blank disc. You'll tell it where the .ISO file that you just ripped is again. Then you'll hit "burn". And it'll do it's thing!
As you can see now, learning how to backup Wii games is a simple process. And once you know how to do it, you can show your friends, and you can do it again and again, with your entire library. Although the game copy app isn't free, it will save you tons of money in the long run. So get copying!
