With the Nintendo Wii constantly selling out across the country, we have found ourselves getting more and more emails from people asking if it is possible to copy Wii games using their cd/dvd burner.

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.

Most of you have probably burned a CD or possibly even a DVD before. This type of burning software is automatically included with almost all computer systems now. However, it won’t make copies of your video 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.

How do you use it?

Thankfully, it’s not complicated whatsoever. You insert the game disc into your disc drive and your computer will make an “image” of the disc on your computers hard drive. Afterwards, you simply insert a blank disc and the software will burn this exact image onto it. You are then left with a perfect copy for you to use whenever you want.

This type of software not only lets you copy Wii games, but you can also make copies of Xbox 360, PS3 and literally any other game disc that you have. It’s nice to have just one program that will work for all the games systems you have.

Having the software you need to copy Wii games is a great way to make backup copies of any game for your system. We suggest making backup copies of any game you have so that you are protected in case it ever gets lost or damaged. Happy gaming!
