How to Use Backup Creator for Wii

The Nintendo Wii was not designed to be able to play backup copies of legally owned game discs. The Xbox Backup Creator program can be used to burn a backup copy of a Wii game disc because the type of file made from the game disc is similar to those used for Xbox and Xbox 360 video games. You will need to have already made a copy of one of your legally owned Wii game discs. There is no charge for using the Xbox Backup Creator program, but the backup games will only work if the Wii has been modified ("modded") beforehand to be able to do things like read backup discs.
