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.
Because of this, we thought it would be a good idea to answer this question in a quick article. This way you can start copying Wii games on your own computer right at home.
Almost everyone has burned a music CD before. In fact, the burning software to make copies of music cds is included in almost all computers now. Unfortunately, this software will not work if you try to use it to copy Wii games.
The reason for this is that video game discs have "copyright protection" guards on them that prevent these programs from being able to read the discs. When you insert the disc into your computer, it doesn't "make sense" to your PC.
Fortunately, there are companies that have designed specialized software that will allow you to copy Wii games. This software uses technology that "knocks-out" the copyright protection used on the game discs and allows your computer to understand the disc.
So how does it work?
It's incredibly simple. First, you insert the game disc and wait while the program makes an "image" of the disc on your hard drive. Next, you insert a blank disc that your computer will burn this image onto. When it is finished, you are left with an exact copy of the game.
When you have this software on your computer, you can copy Wii games, XBOX 360 game, PS3 games - any type of game disc for that matter. It's nice to have a program that does it all if you do have more than one game system at home.
Once you get in the habit of copying Wii games it's a good idea to make a copy of any game you have. This way you don't have to worry about losing or damaging the original game disc. Your backup copies will work just like the originals and can be made directly from your own computer. All the best! - 16039
