How To Burn Wii Games
Wii games are great to play, aren’t they? I really enjoy the interactivity of playing great games like
Super Mario Galaxy, Punch-Out!, Wii Fit, and…oops, that one’s scratched. Dang, another $50 down the drain!
It happens to the best of us. Shaq Daddy can take a few scratches on his bod while battling in the paint,
and he won’t lose his cool; but if you scratch his Punch-Out! disc he’s liable to throw a Fit across the room.
Can you burn Wii games? Yes, you can copy Wii games, which is great because game discs are fragile and
easily scratched. And they can be broken, lost or stolen. Blank discs are a whole lot cheaper to buy than
new games. Sure, you can try the Internet tricks for fixing scratched discs with alcohol and bananas, the
same as you can try buying beach property in Nebraska. Best of luck to you.
Before you start to rip Wii game back-ups, you might want to check out the copyright laws where you live.
These vary from place to place, but in most places it’s legal to rip (burn) back-up Wii games and even to
play burned Wii games, as long as you don’t intend to sell them. Just thought I’d warn you: I wouldn’t want
to be responsible for the ghost of J. Edgar Hoover showing up in your living room.
You can’t burn game back-ups on your Wii; you have to do it on a computer. If you have a DVD burner you
might be able to do it without buying special software, if you’re really lucky. You have to have the right type
of driver; the LG-816 series works, though people complain that it’s entirely too slow a process, like 1-5 hours
per game. Even if you have the right driver, the process of burning games can be rather complicated unless
you have software specifically designed for burning games.
You can buy game-copying software for about $30, so it might pay for itself after copying one or two games.
You should probably choose one with a money-back guarantee, just in case. Here is a site which I highly
recommend. This type of software is apparently legal to use in most areas, as long as you’re only using the
copies as back-ups: www.gamecopywizard.com
The freeware imgBurn won’t work for this because it can’t get past the copyright protection encryptions.
On the Internet, I found some uses for old CD’s and DVD’s. I was looking for gags but found some actual uses,
though they might pass for gags. Apparently animals are afraid of the shininess of CD’s (and they might also
be afraid of some of the music they play). So people suggest putting them around your chicken coop, with the
shiny side up, to deter hawks. You can hang them from trees to discourage deer and rabbits or for using as
trail markers, since they’re easy to spot in the dark. Or you can glue arm patches to them for instant cup
coasters.You can also use them as a candle coaster, inserting a candle in the hole with shiny side of CD up,
reflecting light around the room. You can scrape frost from a windshield with them. And they’re great for
pooper scoopers.
Tip: I suggest reading also how to download wii games. Once you’ve downloaded your favorite Wii games, it’s
a breeze burning them with the Game Copy Wizard.
Now don’t you feel a whole lot smarter after reading this?
