Copy Wii Games


I can still remember the day we got our first Xbox, and my siblings and I were so excited. My mother, however, had the foresight to anticipate the next logical first step that my family would take; the first Xbox disc to get scratched. She invested in "protection" for our precious Xbox games, in the form of disc sleeves and rules about who was and wasn't mature enough to switch discs out.

Nowadays, however, there is a much more elegant solution when it comes to your valuable Wii games; copying the discs directly. In our case, the sleeves would inevitably come off somehow, and the discs would get scratched anyway. But if Wii games are played directly off of a copied disc, then the original disc is always protected against unfortunate mishaps.

To copy Wii games does require a little more financial outlay than trusting the responsibility of a houseful of kids; but the financial investment will save you time, money, and hearing the whining and tears of kids who've just broken their very favorite Wii game of all time. A quick web search should provide you will lots of tips on which software and hardware are best for the job, although be prepared for differing opinions among the elite gamers. The ideal scenario would be if you knew someone personally who was experienced at this sort of thing and could guide you through the process.

And, if you are really worried about your discs, or very cautious as my mother was, you can always do a double back-up system; when copying music discs for my siblings and I my mother would often make two copies. One copy was for us to use immediately, the other copy was in case we broke the first copy. That way my mother never felt pressured into letting us borrow the original "just for a few minutes." Because we all know that with a disc, a few minutes is all it takes.
