How to Create Wii Discs

The Nintendo Wii plays games that are made on a specially formatted DVD disc. Scratching the surface of the game disc or accidentally stepping on it can render it unworkable. You can protect the game disc by making a copy of it on your Windows-based computer, and then using the copy while the original is kept safe. A Wii copy program and a blank DVD disc is all that is needed. Making a copy of the Wii game disc you own is not illegal so long as it is just for backup purposes.
