Then you’re heartbroken when the disc gets scratched right? This author has 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 However, the makers of console systems put such strong protection on their systems, that most gamers still don’t know that they can protect their games by backing them up.

Acquaintances who ask how to copy Wii games, but who are kind of low on tech skills (i.e. “n00bs”) usually get a lesson involving this method. This simply consists of downloading software specifically made for the purpose of copying console games. The apps usually run under 50 dollars (so it’s less expensive than a mod chip), and the best applications of this kind can get past any and all encryption that the manufacturer has on the games. If you are not a techie but want to know how to copy Wii games, I would highly recommend looking into this. It could be the best $40 or whatever you’ve spent in ages.
