Copy Wii Games – You Know How To, Right?
I am sure that you can at least think up a few good reasons why you should learn how to copy your Wii games. After all, if you don’t have a backup, there are only two possible alternatives, and neither of them are pleasant.
Either you will have to buy a second copy, which is never fun. The second possibility is worse, especially if the game is really fun, you never play it again. But this shouldn’t be the only option, particularly when it is so easy to make your backup.
First you don’t need any special hardware or media to produce accurate and working copies for your Wii video games. This is good news since this isn’t the case with all of the new consoles. This means that almost anyone can start backing up their collection today.
If you have a standard DVD burner and a couple of DVD, you are almost ready to get started. Make sure that you are backing up “your” games. Not the games that you’ve rented from the local video store or those that your friends let you borrow. While you’re allowed to make personal copies for games you own, this isn’t the case with any other type.
As I have already mentioned, you don’t need any special hardware for this project, but you do need software. This is one thing you can’t get around. The reason for this is because of the way the game data is encrypted on the original disc.
Normal backup software will not work because it can’t correctly read the information. But here is the thing, a lot of game copy software also has difficulties doing this, too.
So how can you know if the software makes accurate one to one copies of your video games? Well, the application has to decrypt the original disc and save it to your computer. This is the first step in making an accurate copy.
The other part is that the backup application needs to be able to write the information on to a blank DVD.
In both of these steps you can get errors that make the backup copy unplayable if the application doesn’t fully support your platform. But when it does work, you shouldn’t notice which version you’re playing.
If you have errors in the disc, they can make themselves apparent in a variety of ways. The most common one is that the game simply doesn’t work. Other signs can be in the form of graphic and audio glitches that make the video game less than enjoyable to play.
One of the programs I have found is able to make perfect 1:1 copies of Wii games. No matter which one you use though, here is a tip. Make sure to burn the backup at a slow speed. This will lower the chance that there are errors caused by your DVD burner.
