Instructional Guide on the Topic of How to Copy Wii Games

I present today, for your reading enjoyment, this complete guide on the topic of how to copy Wii games. Many of my readers and listeners have been clamoring for this guide for the past 2 years, so I finally put it together. I hope you like it!

Now, in years past, you needed to put in a mod chip to be able to enjoy copied video games. I had written about mod chips previously, in this post. Basically, a mod chip is actually a special type of computer chip that you have to attach inside of your Wii console. This involves breaking open the Wii, which in turn voids the warrantee.

In today’s more advanced world, there is a better option. Prior to 2009, the only way to accomplish the task of playing backed up games indeed was to install a mod chip. But now, you can simply mod your game discs instead! This is because there are several applications now available that will let you strip off the encryption from your games and make a direct 1:1 copy!

And so without further ado, here are the information:

First Step:

Download the app that the programmer that I talked about previously created. When you download it, it will come in the form of a .exe file. Save it to your computer in a location that you’ll remember.

STEP 2

So now you’re going to run the the .exe. Double click it as you would any install file. Accept all of the default settings by clicking “next” whenever prompted. Eventually, it will run for a few minutes and then say “installation complete”.

3:

Select the Wii game that you would like to duplicate. Load it in the optical drive (the CD or DVD burner) on your pc or Macintosh.

4:

Launch the game clone application that you just installed. (Just double click on the icon on the desktop)

STEP 5

This step is where the difference comes in compared to trying to duplicate games with ordinary CD copying software like Windows Media Player or Roxio. You need to “rip” the game disc. Choose the selection in the game copy program in order to extract, and then decide exactly where you wish to store the file. I recommend only using the desktop just as before. And then hit “Start”.

6th Step:

Ok, if you managed to get this far, I am presuming that the copy completed successfully. If not, start again from Step Two. Now, take out the game cd out of your optical drive, and insert a blank CD or DVD into it. Any kind of CD or DVD which is compatible with your own drive works. In the programs menu, select “write” mode. And then scan to the file which it copied to your desktop. Click “Start”.

STEP 7

Now, it’s time to play the waiting game. Burning a game involves burning up to 2+ gigabytes of information, and it can take up to 12 minutes. When it’s finished, it will pop up a completion screen and play some music. At this point, you’re all set! You just need to remove the disc, label it, and play it! Don’t fail to put the master copy up somewhere that it will be safe!

And now, you know how to copy Wii games! So please don’t accost me on the street like the reader that I dealt with yesterday! If you have any questions, just shoot me an email or IM.
