Here's the easy way to copy Wii game discs from home

Obviously the Nintendo Wii is an incredibly fantastic system that offers a unique method of gameplay.  It's no wonder so many people want to copy Wii games as backup discs in case the original gets damaged. 

While these games are on a disc that looks just like music CDs, they can't just be copied the same way you would copy a music disc.  It's a little more complicated than that.  Today we're going to tell you the basics of copying Wii games.

CD copying software can't copy your Wii games the same way you would burn a CD.  Programs like Nero and other popular burning programs just can't copy these disks.  Why? because of the copy protection on the disk that prevents your computer from being able to make sense of it.

Of course, like most copy protection, it didn't take long for someone to come up with a way around this.  There are programs out there that can bypass the copy guards that are on Wii games.

When you have this type of program on your computer, copying a game is super easy - your computer is suddenly able to understand the data that it coudn't understand before.  This is true for games on just about any system, including the PS3, XBOX, and the Wii.

Once you have found and installed a program to break the copyright guards, the program will copy the data from your your game as an image on your hard drive.  Afterwards, all you need to do is put a blank DVD or CD into the drive, then press a button on the program to copy the game onto the disc.

The copying programs that are now available make it possible to produce copies of Wii games without having to do anything but click a few buttons. That's all there is to it! You now know how to copy Wii games.  Have fun!
