Are you wondering if there is a way to copy Wii games? If you are - you’re not alone! We have been getting a number of emails about this so we decided to write a quick article about copying Wii games.

There’s a good chance that at some point in time you have used your CD burner to copy or burn a music CD. But as you probably know, you can’t use the same burning program to make copies of video games.

Why is this?

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.

With this problem in mind, certain software companies set out to solve this issue by developing a program that is able to bypass these protections and allow your computer to read Wii games. By using this specialized software, all of a sudden video game discs “make sense” to your PC.

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.

We did put a link at the bottom of this article where you can find out how to get a free trial of this type of software.

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.

It’s a great feeling to be able to copy Wii games using your computer and your burner. This gives you a way to backup all of your existing games and make copie of any other Wii game you pick up. Enjoy!
