Do you sometimes not your gaming CDs or DVDs the way that you intend to, eventually ending up with scuffed, scratched, and ruined discs? Even I have had this happen with both DVD movies and video games from my Wii. Anymore, DVD movies are easy to backup. But the companies that make video games put such strong software locks on their games, that most gamers still don’t know how to back up games. Next, I’m going to show you 3 of the most common methods for how to backup video games in this missive.
Using Mod Chips
Depending on the type of chip, this route can be of either medium or advanced technical difficulty. So if you’re considering this, think about your geek ability before tackling this. A mod chip is similar to a computer chip. If you open your Xbox or Wii and install one, it will allow the Wii or what-have-you to read backed up discs. Once you get the mod chip into your console, you can actually backup games using pretty much any DVD burning application that will let you to create a disc image type file.
The OS Method
This method probably ranks moderate technical difficulty. This author has people online asking me constantly how to back up Wii games and for my techie friends, this is the method that I most often point them to. The Wii IOS, or any game console IOS is similar to an operating system, like Windows, for your home PC. At it’s core an IOS that’s been hacked, which allows you to play copied or backed up Wii games with no further hacks needed
The PC-Based Method
People who ask how 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 buying a program specifically made for the purpose of backing up Wii games. The apps usually cost under 50 dollars (so it’s cheaper than a hardware based hack, and it doesn’t void your warranty), and the best apps of this kind can get past any encryption that the manufacturer has on the discs. If you are low on technical skill but want to know how to back up Wii games, I would highly recommend looking into this. It might end up being the best money you’ve spent in awhile.
In Summary…
Any of these tools can be the right solution for making backups of your Wii games depending on your skill level. The most important thing is just that you back them up. The first time you scratch a game and have a spare ready to go, the money and time that you invested to backup your Wii games will have paid dividends.
