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.
Now, no mod of the Wii itself is required. Instead, you can simply utilize some rockin' software which allows you to strip the encryption off of the games - essentially modding the games instead of the console!
So, before I get in trouble for being too wordy, here are the instructions:
STEP 1
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".
STEP 2
Set up the program. Find the file on the desktop. Double click on it. Click next each time that it asks you. You will know that you're done when you are getting a screen informing you the set up is finished.
Three:
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.
Four:
Now, run the game copy software that you just installed.
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:
Ok, in case you made it this far, I am presuming that the copy finished properly. Otherwise, start over at Step Two. Now, take out the game disc out of your optical drive, and place a blank CD or even DVD into it. Any type of CD or DVD that's compatible with your own drive is fine. Within the programs menu, select "write" mode. And then browse to the file which it copied to your desktop. Hit "Start".
Seven:
Now, chill out for a few. The burn will take about 10 minutes. The game copier will play some corny music when the burn is complete. If your speakers are turned up loud, it will scare you. Just a warning. Anyway, when it's done, remove the disc from the drive and put it into your Wii. If everything went correctly, it should play at this point!
And now, you've learned how to copy Wii games!
