How to Copy Wii Games With Game Copy Pro

Video games are intended to provide hours of entertainment. On a disc-based console such as the Nintendo Wii, the ability to enjoy a game is reliant on the disc remaining in good condition. To protect yourself against the possibility of a Wii game disc becoming damaged or destroyed, backup copies of the game can be made using Game Copy Pro. The software copies the game disc completely, allowing you to burn the copy onto a blank DVD which can then be used with your Wii console.

Things You'll Need

"Game Copy Pro" software
Wii game disc
Blank DVD-R or DVD+R disc

Instructions

- 1
  Place the Wii game you want to create a copy of into the DVD drive of your computer. The drive may attempt to read the disc, but the "AutoPlay" function of your computer shouldn't launch since there aren't any computer-readable files on the disc.
- 2
  Launch "Game Copy Pro" and select the option to copy a Nintendo Wii game. The software will read the data on the disc and begin creating a .iso file using the game data. Depending on the processing speed of your computer, the creation of the .iso file may take an hour or longer to complete.
- 3
  Remove the Wii game disc from your computer's DVD drive once Game Copy Pro finishes copying its data and has created a .iso file. Right-click the file and select the "Properties" option to ensure proper file creation; the size of the file should be 4.3 gigabytes. If the file is smaller, the game data wasn't copied correctly and needs to be copied again.
- 4
  Insert a blank DVD-R or DVD+R disc into the DVD drive, canceling the "AutoPlay" options window if it appears. Locate the one-click burning option in "Game Copy Pro" which allows you to burn the .iso file you created to a blank disc without the need for a separate burning program.
- 5
  Click the button in "Game Copy Pro" to begin burning the game copy to your blank disc. The burning process may take an hour or longer depending on the speed of your computer and your DVD drive. Once the burning process is complete you can remove the backup DVD you have created and use it with your Wii console.
