Although you might think from the way the Wii discs look that you can copy them in the same way you copy regular CDs, you can't. This article outlines how you can copy Wii games and also outlines when you should not copy them.

You have probably heard of other burning software like Roxio and Nero. There are a number of popular programs to choose from that allow you to copy and burn regular CDs. These programs, however, cannot copy Wii discs because of the way they are encoded.

As was the case with someone copying other programs, someone eventually came up with a way to copy Wii discs.

After installing software that will copy the Wii discs, it is easy to make copies of these discs because with the software the computer understands what is on the Wii discs. This is true also when you install software to copy discs from other systems like PS3 and Xbox 360.

Depending on the copying software you buy, you can often use the same software to copy discs from more than one gaming system including PC games.

Once you have found and installed a program you need to make a special copy of the data on your game as a disk image. Afterwards, you must put a CD disc or DVD disc into the CD burning drive and then tell the appropriate program to burn the copied image into the CD.

In many cases burning and copying functions are found within many decryption programs. This means that you will never need to use regular disc burners. As a result, you are playing it safe and reducing the chance of an error resulting when ripping the disc.

The copying programs that currently exist on the market make it extremely easy to copy Wii games right from the comfort of your own computers! Copying Wii games is great for anyone that wants to make a backup copy of any game that they own. Having a backup copy can be extremely useful just in case your original disc gets scratched or lost. Have fun!
