3 Ways Of Backing Up Video Games
Do you ever not take care of your game discs like you should, eventually winding up with scratched and unplayable discs? Even I have had this happen with both DVD movies and video games from more than one game system. DVDs are a snap to copy. But did you know that the makers of games systems such as the Wii put such extreme protection on their consoles, that probably the majority of people still don’t know how to copy Wii games. In this article, I’m about to outline 3 of the most common ways for how to back up Wii games in this article.
Installing a Mod Chip
Depending on the kind of chip, this route can be of either medium or advanced technical difficulty. So if you’re considering this, think about your geek credentials before tackling this. A mod chip is similar to a computer chip. If you solder one onto your Wii’s motherboard, it will trick the Wii into playing burned games. Once you get the mod chip into your console, you can start copying games using any old DVD ripping/burning software that will allow you to write a disc image type file.
The Hacked IOS Method
This method probably rates moderate technical difficulty. This author has people online asking me every day how to copy video games and for those who are tech geeks, this is the method that I usually recommend. The Wii IOS, or any game console IOS is similar to a computer operating system, like Windows, for your home PC. installing 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
The Third Party Method
Acquaintances who ask what method I use to copy Wii games, but who are pretty low on tech skills (i.e. “n00bs”) usually get a tutorial on this method. This simply consists of purchasing a program specifically made for the purpose of backing up Wii games. The apps usually cost under $60 (so it’s usually cheaper than a mod chip), and the best applications of this kind can get past all encryption that might be on the discs. If you are not a techie and want to know how to back up Wii games, I would highly recommend looking into this. It could be the best $40 or whatever you’ve spent in awhile.
In Conclusion…
Any of these tools can be the right solution for copying Wii games depending on the circumstances. The important thing is just that you back them up. The first time you scuff a disc and have a back up ready, the money and time that you invested to back up your Wii games will have paid off.
