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.

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.

Why? Because video game discs have a form of protection that stops these programs from being able to make copies. When you insert the game discs in your computer your PC doesn’t know how to “read” them.

Although most burning software won’t work, there are specialty game-copying programs that have been specifically designed to be able to bypass the copyright guards that are on video game discs. This software will let you copy Wii games by allowing your computer to “understand” the game discs.

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.

Not only will this software let you copy Wii games, but you can also make copies of XBOX 360, PS3 and all types of games. This way you don’t have to buy a new program if you have more than just the one game system.

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!
