Easy Nintendo Wii Games Backup
Nintendo does not like you playing copies of their games in your Wii. They want you to get them, there is really nothing wrong with that. The problem is, things may happen to make it unplayable. Then you need to buy the game again. This just doesn’t seem fair.
Fortunately, it is possible to keep playing your preferred Wii games even when they go missing or scratched. Of course getting this sort of protection for your games may cost a little bit of cash but, once you have purchased it for, this will allow to safeguard all your Wii games.
Wii Modchipping
Buying a modchip will enable you to play Wii games which are backed up on a blank DVD using nearly every burning or copying software. The chip authenticates the DVD as a legitimate Wii disk even though it may be not.
*Warning* There are a few risks with taking this approach.
First, you have to open the Wii to be able to install the chip. Opening the Wii voids the warranty therefore if tips over, you will have to buy a new Wii or pay to have it fixed. The second issue that may happen is by using the chip itself. They are not all built to exactly the same standards and getting a substandard chip means that it will fail and need to become replaced sooner rather than later. Finally, even when the chip is of excellent quality and installed correctly, you can’t install the Wii updates when they happen. Personally, I don’t recommend you make use of mod chips as it’s a shady business.
Softmodding
A better approach is called softmodding. You utilize a unique software application copying the overall game, leaving no chip to purchase and install, all of the risks related to that option are eliminated. The down-side is, you won’t have the ability to use free versions of burning or copying software to create the backups. You will need to buy software that has the ability to bypass the authentication coding hanging around throughout the copying process.
There’s a several reputable software packages that can make softmodded backups safely. One of my personal favorite software backup managers is known as Easy Backup Wizard – I wrote an evaluation on it that you can read here.
