How to Copy Wii Games: An In-Depth Instruction Manual
Several readers have requested more specific guidelines concerning how to duplicate Wii game titles, so I have written them up today for you to enjoy!
From almost the day that the Wii was released, enterprising hackers were providing a way to play backed up games on the Wii. Unfortunately, this involved installing a mod chip inside of your Wii console. Now, I used one of these (and as a result lost my warranty almost 4 years ago). Today, though, you younger Wii gamers are lucky, since there’s a better way.
Nowadays, there is a more sensible choice. Some enterprising programmer developed a software application which will basically remove the security off of Nintendo wii games so you don’t have to mod your own Wii at all in order to play the duplicated video games.
Ok, I’m rambling. Here are the instructions, peeps:
Step Numero Uno:
Now, these first few steps involve your PC or Mac. Download the game copying software package to your PC’s hard drive unit. You should be able to find the package by Googling the phrase “how to backup Wii games”.
Two:
Now, if you’ve ever installed a piece of software on your PC before, you should have no problem with this step. Just double click the file that you downloaded, and accept all of the default settings. (You know, just click next, next, next, ad nauseum). It’ll let you know when it’s finished.
Step Numero Tres:
Dig through your game collection, and pick the first game that you want to backup. Insert it into that little slot on your computer that is your CD drive.
Step Numero Cuatro:
Start the game clone program that you just installed. (Simply double click the icon within the desktop)
STEP 5
Now, you need to “rip” the game disc. This means that you’ll be copying all of the information on the disc to your computer (you could actually play it on your PC if you download an emulator, but that’s for another article…) In the game copying application, pick “extract”. Now, browse within the software to wherever you want to extract it to. I recommend the root of your C: drive. Start the rip.
Six:
Copy complete. Right? Now, I need you to get your keys and get in your car. Go to the nearest electronics store and purchase a pack of the best blank CDs or DVDs that you can afford. Drive back. Pop open a soda. Ok, now, remove the Wii game from your PC’s burner drive. Insert the blank disc. Within the game copy application, go into “write” mode. Start the burn.
STEP 7
Sit there for a few minutes and twiddle your thumbs. Or look at a magazine from under your bed. I don’t care. Point is, the burn will take about 15 minutes, so just chill for a few. When the app pops up a screen saying that it’s done, and plays some cheesy music, you’ll know that your game has been burned. Try not to do a happy dance. Now, put the master copy of the game up somewhere safe.
And now, you’ve learned how to copy Wii games!
