Have you shelled out $50 or more for a video game, only to have it wind up getting scuffed, and then become unplayable? I have had this happen with both DVD movies and video games from more than one game system. Anymore, DVD movies are easy to backup. However, the video game console makers put such strong protection on their games, that most gamers still don’t know that they can protect their games by backing them up. Specifically, I’m going to explain 3 of the most common methods for how to copy Wii games in this missive.
Putting in a Mod Chip
Depending on the kind of chip, this way can be of either medium or extreme technical difficulty. So if you are interested in how to copy Wii games, think about your geek ability before tackling this. A mod chip is similar to a computer chip. When you throw it inside your console box, it makes it so that the game system will start playing backed up games. Once you have a mod chip, you can start copying games using just about any DVD burning utility that will allow you to write a disc image.
The OS Method
This method probably rates moderate geek difficulty. Personally, I have friends asking me every day the best way to copy Wii games and for those with some tech skills, this is the method that I most frequently recommend. The Wii IOS, or any game console IOS is similar to an operating system, like Windows, for your home PC. There are “hacked” IOSs that you can install on your console which will allow you to backup Wii games using everyday DVD backup software and then play them with no further mods required.
Backing Up Games with Your Computer
Gamers who want to know the best way to copy Wii games, but who are fairly low on tech skills (i.e. “n00bs”) usually get a rundown on this method. This simply consists of buying software specifically made for the purpose of backing up Wii games. The software usually run under 40 bucks (so it’s usually cheaper than a hardware based hack, and it doesn’t void your warranty), and the best apps of this type can get past any encryption that the manufacturer has on the discs. If you are not a techie but want to know how to copy Wii games, I would highly recommend looking into this. It could be the best $50 or so you’ve spent in awhile.
In Conclusion…
Any of these methods can be the right solution for copying your Wii games depending on the situation. The important thing is just that you get them backed up. The first time you scratch a disc and have a spare ready to go, the money and time that you invested to backup your Wii games will have paid dividends.
