Knowing How To Copy Wii Games Saves Money

There is no question that the Nintendo name is a big one in the gaming community. The introduction of the Wii system has changed gaming in a big way. Families have become involved with the interactive characteristics. Prices for the new game releases are going out of sight.

Anyone who has ever had a music CD in their home knows how easy it is to damage it. A simple scratch can ruin a music album, and can certainly seriously damage a Wii game.

Fortunately, there are game copying software applications on the market that will enable you to copy Nintendo Wii games and make backups. With good backup disks, you can store away your original game disks for protection, using them only to make additional backups when necessary.

As you probably already know, you cannot copy Wii games disks using the traditional copying software used for reproducing music or video disks. The encrypted copy protection schemes that are built into the Wii game disks prevents that from happening. The new software that will copy Nintendo Wii games can bypass this copy protection and give you exact copies of the original game disks which will be playable on you Wii game console.

The software applications that enable you to copy Nintendo Wii games are available for download from a number of websites. Some are free, but beware of these. Many don't work well, and most will download viruses with the software, including Trojans, spyware, and other malware that can damage your computer. Take the time to research the different sites. Check the gaming blogs for suggestions. Ask your fellow gamers what they would recommend.

Once you've determined what the best software is for you, pay the price, download it, and install it on your personal computer.

Once you've downloaded and installed the game copying software, the procedures for how to copy Wii games are pretty standard no matter which software you've purchased. Start up the software application and follow the onscreen instructions, which is usually no more that inserting the original game disk to copy the data to the computer hard drive, and then replacing the original disk with a blank DVD to accept the game data from the hard drive. When your copy is made, test it out on your Wii system. If you've made a mistake, burn another copy. When you're done, you'll have a high quality copy of your original game disk that you can dedicate to daily use, while you safely store away your expensive original game.
