It’s no mystery that the Nintendo Wii has been selling like mad - it’s one hot system! With so many new users, we seem to be getting a good number of emails from people wondering if there is a way to copy Wii games. With this is mind, we decided to throw together a quick guide showing you how to do this.

As you might already know you can’t just use the same software you use to burn cds if you are trying to make a copy of a video game. Programs like Nero or Roxio are not able to copy Wii games.

Why is that?

All video game discs are equipped with a type of protection that prevents your computer from being able to produce copies. The companies that make video games have developed these “copyright guards” so that your computer can’t recognize the discs - this prevents it from being able to make a copy.

When there’s a problem, someone’s going to find a solution! That’s exactly what certain software companies have done - there are now programs that are able to “punch-out” the guards on video games. When you install this software, your computer is able to read the data that is on video game discs.

I should point out that this software isn’t only for copying Wii games. You can also use it to make copies of xbox 360, PS3 and all other video games that are on a disc.

If you want to try a risk-free trial for this type of program you can use the link at the bottom of this article.

Although the technology behind these programs is complex, using the program is a snap. You just put the Wii game into your disk drive, let your computer make an “image” of it, and then insert a blank CD-R or DVD-R that your computer than copies the image onto.

Making copies of Wii games is a great way to protect any game you already have - if you ever lose or damage it at least you have a backup. By using the right software you can copy Wii games whenever you like just by using the CD burner on your computer. Good luck!
