How to Repair a Wii Backup Disc

The Nintendo Wii is a video game console that was released in 2006. The Wii broke through the barriers of what was considered conventional gaming with its motion controllers. It wasn't long before independent developers began searching for a way to load their Wii game backups onto an external hard drive to play them without a disc. Eventually, this fete was accomplished.
