Do your kids or younger siblings leave video game discs just lying about to get ruined? Are you yourself guilty of this? Then you’re upset when the disc gets destroyed right? Even I have had this happen with both DVD movies and video games from several different game systems. With just a couple of downloads, copying DVDs has never been easier Even now though, the makers of console systems put such strong software locks on their games, that probably the majority of people still don’t know how to protect their games by backing them up. In this write-up, I’m about to explain 3 of the best methods for how to back up Wii games in this post.
The Hardware-based Mod Chip Method
Depending on the type of chip, this route can be of either medium or quite high technical difficulty. So when you want to copy your games, think about your geek credentials before attempting this. A mod chip is the console version of a computer chip. If you solder one onto your Wii’s motherboard, it will trick the Wii into reading copied or backed up games. Once you get the mod chip into your console, you can actually copy games using any old DVD cloning utility that will let you to write a disc image.
Hacking the IOS
This method probably rates moderate technical difficulty. This author has people online asking me all the time how to copy Wii games and for my friends who aren’t total “n00bs”, this is the method that I most frequently recommend. The Wii IOS is similar to a computer operating system, like Windows, for your home PC. Essentially an IOS that’s been, shall we say, “tweaked”, that will let you to play copied or backed up Wii games with no further hacks needed after the install
Copying Wii Games With a PC
Gamers who want to know how to backup Wii games, but who are somewhat low on tech skills (i.e. “n00bs”) usually get a rundown involving this method. This simply involves downloading a program specifically made for the purpose of ripping Wii games. The software usually run under $50 (so it’s cheaper than a hardware based hack, and it doesn’t void your warranty), and the best applications of this type can get past any and all encryption that might be on the discs. If you are not a techie and want to backup Wii games, My advice would be to look into this. It might end up being the best money you’ve spent in ages.
In Conclusion…
Any of these hacks can be the right solution for making backups of your Wii games depending on the situation. The important thing is just that you back them up. The next time you ruin a disc and have a back up ready, the money and time that you invested to backup your Wii games will have paid off.
