Important Things You Need To Be Aware Of

Game Copy Software such as Game Copy Wizard will Create 1:1 Copies, But You Won’t Be Able To Play The Games On Your Wii!

Most websites on the internet will tell you that all you need is a game copy software that makes 1:1 copies. What these sites don’t tell you is that the software indeed creates 1:1 copies, but you still won’t be able to play it on your Wii! These sites do not care whether you will be able to play copied Wii games or not. All they want is sell copies of the game copy software they are promoting!

But why won’t you be able to play the copied Wii games?

Because a Wii that is not modded won’t be able to read the copied disc, although it is a 1:1 copy!

SoftMod Wii In Some Easy Steps So You Can Actually Play Copied Wii Games

The solution? You could either install a mod chip or soft mod your Wii.

There is no need to worry, I don’t recommend adding a mod chip to your Wii, because this will void warranty. However, softmodding is easy and can be done in some steps with the help of a special software. I highly recommend getting Wii Unlocker . Wii Unlocker will guide you step by step through the whole unlock process. No technical knowledge is required and your Wii warranty won’t be voided.

You should also note that that playing copie Wii games is not the only thing a Wii softmod can do!

Once you install wii softmod with the help of Wii Unlocker you can enjoy added features like:
Play copied Wii games without Modchip installation.
DVD Playback and watching your favourite dvd movies
Playing Retro classic games like Pacman, 1942, tetris, Super Marios from SNES…..
Enjoy Region Unlock – Play games and movies from overseas ROMS
Get Access to thousands of Apps and Software and MP3′s

– but there is something else you need to know when It come To How To Copy Wii Games!

Older DVD Drives Won’t Be Able To Read Wii Games!

A lot of older DVD drives are not able to read Wii games. Thus it will be impossible for you to create working copies of your Wii games. It is important that you have the correct drive; otherwise you will not be able to properly rip your game. If your notebook or computer is less than 2 years old this will most likely not be a problem. If you have a MacBook or MacBook Pro core 2 then copying Wii games will work fine as well. Other common laptops that work right out of the box include HP, Toshiba, Compaq, Dells, and various others.

Some older and cheap DVD drives that will work perfectly are listed below:.
LG-8164b LG-8163b
LG-8162b LG-8161b

OK!

How To Copy Wii Games – The Steps

1. So by now you should have softmodded your Wii using Wii Unlocker and downloaded and installed Game Copy Wizard.

2. Insert your Wii game into your DVD drive, and launch the Wii game copy program. Once the program is running, simply click the start button to begin the process of copying. Be aware that this could take a couple hours. When the copying process is complete, you should have a new file in the applications folder, with an .iso extension. This file is the ready-to-burn image of your copied game.

4. Insert a blank CD into your computer. Let the program copy the Wii game onto the blank disc. Burn discs at very low speeds (2-8X) to ensure the Wii can read it.

5. In order to verify the accuracy of your copied file, open the “properties” option on your newly copied backup games file to find out the size of the file (right-click the icon in order to access the “properties” option). All Wii games are 4.37 gigabytes, and if your file size is different, you should copy games again (exact size 4,699,979,776).

6. Now that the game is copied, and you already modded your Wii using Wii Unlocker you can start playing our copied game!
